Downloading Calibre

Hi
This is my first post so I am a bit unsure. I downloaded Calibre to my desktop without a problem but when I try to download it to my laptop it is
a mega zipper.msi file which I can't open. Please can anyone advise.
Thanks

mega zipper?
do not use a download manager.
Note: if you have a copy (of the current MSI file) on your (Windows) PC, just copy it to your (Windows) laptop . they are the same for all Windows versions.

A .msi file is a standard Microsoft installation package. You do not open it - you simply rtun it.
