"Not designed for Windows"? Are you in fact trying to run the Windows version, or are you trying to run the OSX or Linux one? The correct version for Windows 7 can be downloaded from the Calibre Web site.

Another error message suggests that the file calibre2\DLLs\libiconv.dll is at fault
Have run a full system scan with Norton but still Calibre will not load

Okay. First make sure you have a backup of your library. Also, if you have customised Calibre a backup of your configuration files won't hurt. You will need to post the actual error messages. It is starting to get late here and I won't be on much longer, but someone will be able to help. If you're inpatient then reinstalling Calibre may be worth a try.

Just for interest why run Calibre in such a convoluted way? Would it not be easier to simply run the mac version?
