2. Expand all files from the downloaded zip folder to a suitable location. Then UNBLOCK all five files found in this location and subfolders.

Rt click>ProPerties>check unblock>Apply>OK

3. Copy each unblocked file into corresponding program files folder on the system drive. Provide administrators permissions when requested. [EXCEPTION: There is no need to copy over wincal registration entries, to a system folder.]

I don't have that issue.

4. Set each .exe file to be compatible with Windows Vista.

I only used what is in those zip files.

Then wincal should be under control panel>Default programs.

5. Dont know the file attributes to set for User, Administrator and System.

What file permissions do I need to assign to the wincal.exe and wincal.exe.mui files, once they'd been transfered across, would you know?

6. Merge the provided Registration Entries.
