Newbie needs help
Hey everyone I am sure this has been answered here, but not been able to find it so hopefully no one gets too upset at me for asking again!
I just downloaded calibre 0.7.35 from the calibre website, it came in as a wrar file so I extracted it, but now I cannot find anywhere to open it up or set it up or make it run. What do I do? |

If you're just wanting a regular double click to install type setup then download the .msi version.
The latest version is 0.8.3 http://calibre-ebook.com/download_windows or you can get 0.7.35 here if that's what you wanted for some reason. http://sourceforge.net/projects/calibre/files/0.7.35/ |

You need to unzip the wrar file to install the calibre software. After installing the icon will show on your desktop then click on it to run it instantly.

For Windows XP, the file you want is the .msi file. I believe the one you picked is for the 64bit Linux install.
