OE6 is the correct choice.  OE5 and 6 use the same file formats.

However, the CD is probably your problem.  OE won't read files marked as read-only.  You'll
need to copy the DBX files to the hard disk, then remove the read-only attribute (Right click
the file in the Windows File Explorer, select Properties, General and uncheck the read-only
attribute.
