Hi everyone, forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I'm having trouble getting started with Calibre on Windows 7 (I installed it just fine on a mac OX machine).

The installer file is a .msi, but by this file will only open with a file extractor, where it just creates an empty folder. I've seen other threads about installation problems with Windows 7 and permissions, but I'm not even getting to that point.

Am I missing something obvious?
