The Rapidshare link to the file says it can only be downloaded with a Premium account.
Many thanks for this tip, I couldn’t live without Windows Calendar!
@CJM
Choose your download option as FREE in Rapidshare page. It’s working fine here.
Thanks Chris for the info !
can not download from the rapidshare link it says i must have a premium acct
Sorry, but this don’t work for me. I’ve dowloaded the zip file, extracted the files to C:\Program Files\Windows Calendar, and pinned it to the Taskbar, and it just won’t run.
As a few other readers have pointed out: The Rapidshare link to the file says it can only be downloaded with a Premium account.
I’ve tried for days – no luck. Is anyone who already have the file willing to mail (“senior47_@_gmail_DOT_com”) me this zip – or providing a working link?
Thank you so much!!I couldn’t download the zip file at the first few times -too many users, but finally I’ve got it!
Thanks for this posting! you saved my day!!
downloaded file or 3rd trial. worked. Thanks!
Thanks you so much
thanks a lot for the windows calendar……….
awesome…it works perfectly…!!
Man…you just saved my life
Many thanks – was wondering what to do after upgrade to Windows 7 but now have my calendar back.
Thanks for the help! Looks good.
I got it to work but it won’t open in windows mail only from the shortcut
I clicked on the link, and it comes up with an error page??
help?
I cant download from rapidshare. It says “The file could not be found. Please check the download link.” If someone have this wincal.exe plz send me the link.
Thanks it worked for me… (Although the Link wincal.zip from rapidshare doesnt work) I just copied the Windows Calendar Folder from my other Pc which runs Vista (32 bit)…then followed the instructions on my new Windows 7 …works great… apparently i have a 32 bit Windows 7…
*** there are compatibiliy issues with the 32 and 64 bit…take note…
The file has been deleted. Why don’t you move to Mediafire or iFile? Or, you can tell me what the file contains and if I can get it from Vista and I’ll get it for everyone here.
@Sunny
Finally we have uploaded the file to MediaFire. Just download now and get Windows Calender in Windows7
Thank you so much for this info! I just upgraded to Windows 7 and was quite dismayed to discover that that Calendar I relied on was no longer there. My OS is 64-bit and this calendar seems to be working fine – even has all my old data in it. YAY! Thank you for restoring the functionality of this program!
CHEERS! works perfectly
Thank you so much for offering the calendar program. It works great and does exactly what I need.
Men really thanks, your post is really usefull and clear to understand, well done, thnks. jose from colombia
oh my god, you are AMAZING. what a legend.
Awesome. I could not believe Windows 7 doesnt have a calander program? Huh? So aweswome. I kind of miss Vista to be honest…
THANKS AGAIN. Made my 2010!
Amazing to have it back – have imported calendar from Outlook 2007 and altho I have the WindowsCalendar on my 64bit Windows 7, reminders will not come up except the ones that I newly plug in. How do I get all reminders to pop-up?
hey this works great! but i’m missing the search box? Help!
WTF ! NO calendar in 7 ! Bless Your Name pal !
Excellent……Thanks.
really its great work.. and its woring too thank you very much..
Thanks very much. Not only has it downloaded, installed and run perfectly but all my old calendar data (tasks, appointments etc) have reappeared like magic. Brilliant!
I got a 403 error when trying to download the file
n/m, I checked again a few hours later and the link worked
Worked great first time. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. Works great. Installs easily.
Same as Comment #30 Joanna. Running Windows 7 64 bit. No Search function/box… Any suggestions appreciated… This was a valuable feature in Vista calendar..
I got it to work, only reminders will only work when I open calendar up. I also have Google Calendar and downloaded gminder. It pop ups reminders, even when I am not on internet (laptop). Works great
I was hooked on that calendar (vista). By searching for vista calendars I came across to this site. Personally…Thank you so much for sharing.
It works! Not as good as my old Works calendar, but it will do for now. Thanks guys.
Bang on Chris
Thank you
Thank you.
Thank you so so much for this incredibly helpful advice. This was a feature I was really missing – can’t believe they didn’t include it!
Is this a 64 bit application?
Im trying to install it on my XP and it says. That its not a valid win32 application.
Thanks for sharing this! I missed this feature in Windows 7.
Wow, Chris! I really needed this calendar on my new laptop. You’re the best! Many thanks, Joe
Can I use Windows Calendar?
I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. I thought that the Windows 7 Calendar would use my Vista Calendar data, but I cannot find it. Does anyone know if I have lost the Vista Calendar or is it hidden somewhere? If hidden, how do I sync it with Windows 7?
CHEERS MANN!! My life is now back on track!
its crzy how amazing this thing and becomes a neccesity!!
cool, it works. but the calendar sucks. it won’t import Outlook entries, won’t edit online Google entries, won’t show Agenda view for effective editing of multiple entries. Outlook can do this editing, but won’t publish or export back to ICS… OMG! I’m trying to fix my calendar, but there are no real tools whatsover. WTF!!
Thanks very much for your tip. I believe it’ll help me a lot!
the reminder doesnt appear on desktop when i set an event and the buzzer. plz help
Thanks a lot, great feature! +++
Anyone found a way to get the ‘Search’ box? Would appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
Thanx for this, now I don’t have to miss important dates anymore
thank you Chris!!! 
and it works too 
Anyone have any idea how to find my old calendar info? My old computer is slaved to my new one (for now) and I can’t find my old info to load it… Any help would be really appreciated!
GREAT! Thank you
Like Troy, I’m lookin for the “Search Box” function…
Thanks so much, really really missing it and can’t believe windows 7 has not got it!!!!!!!

Windows Calender in Windows7
Thank you so much for posting the information to have Calender in our Windows7.
How can I totally remove the calendar, it is not working as I had hoped. I tried the add and remove software and it is not listed. We are new to windows 7. I want it totally off my new laptop.
This was cxactly what I needed. The download and setup was quick and easy. Thank you very much!
Good man! Just the fix I was looking for and good instructions.
still waiting for some guru to help us find and use the search box, like others have said, it’s just not there!
May I know what is the usage for Reminders – Christ.xml?
It somehow makes me feel not comfortable with it
Thankyou so much, I could not believe that they had cut the calendar from Windows 7, a very stupid idea indeed!!!!!
I had a nightmare with the addressess, even though I wrote them very carefully and I was definitely correct but it did not recognise the addresses til I browsed for them….they were exactly the same!!!!!
windows calander
Can someone tell me why this calendar program is not issued through a Microsoft web-page? Or why one should trust this web-page?
Hmm, suspicion arises
KJ
thanks!!! I missed it so much
Still looking for a solution to the missing Search Window….. Anyone?
You can find the calendar in the Window Live Mail in Windows 7
Nickhog, I am too looking for the seach window and with no luck. Other than that, the calender works great!
Many Thanks! Just what I wanted!
I keep clicking on the link to download the zip file, and keep getting the website to download Mediafire, which I don’t want. Plus when I click on that option, it asks for my cell ph # to send a code. Well, I don’t have text messaging so I don’t get these codes. Therefore I cannot use that option. Please tell me a simplier way to download the Windows Calendar for my Windows 7 computer system.
Thanks!!
What do you mean my comment is awaiting moderation? How am I supposed to moderate it????
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I was devastated that Microsoft got rid of Windows Calender i hated that they expected everyone to use Windows Live. I’m so happy I have this program back!!

You just need to download it from MediaFire. Just ignore all the pop up ads
Help!!!!!!!!!!!! Looked all over mediafire and could not find this file to download. If I search mediafire, what is the file called?
Dumb question I know but I am getting frustrated
Great – worked from the first time! Thank you!!
OMG thank you so much for posting this. I also work from home as a peer advisor for my school and I was going crazy trying to keep up with my appointments with students. You are the best!
moderator: “works great for win.7 – many thank’s – is unfortunate m$s likes to shoot themselves in the foot frequently – if they would only listen to their financial supports – us the m$s users – but, no their arrogance alway’s preceeds and ignores us – oh well, i guess, most of us are use to it now … hahaha … but, really – many thank’s this is awesome friend !!”
I believe I am downloading the calender file, but all I see is a message that it has started. I do not see any process and it has been about an hour. I have a dialup connection so i know it may take awhile. Is there any way to show the progress?
I just downloaded in a few seconds at the libriary onto my flashdrive and will extract it at home. What a difference.
Thanks. I managed to get the calendar program downloaded and running after some fiddline. I’m curious about why Microsoft excluded this utility from Windows 7.
Thank you so much. I really needed this with my incredibly busy schedule and was so very disapointed when I realized my new computer with Windows 7 didn’t have it. THANK YOU!!!
Have my calendar working fine (including reminders) following instruction in this thread.. However, I’m missing the “Search Box” in the upper right corner and cannot search the calendar for events… Anyone have “Any” idea how we can add this function back in….
Thank you so much, it was of great help.
“Can anyone please suggest a way to run it continuously as an application, I mean we don’t get a reminder or alarm unless we open the application in Windows 7 unlike in vista where it runs all the time.”
The answer to this is to run the Windows Calendar as an Administrator. It needs to be Administrator Authority to update the Windows Task Scheduler when it is not running. To do this, locate your WinCale.exe file (something like C:\Program Files\Windows Calendar\Wincal.exe). Select it, single click the right mouse button and select Properties from the Menu. Select the Compatibility Tab from the top of the WinCal.exe Properties window. Check the “Run this program as an administrator” box and select “the OK button. Now it will pop up your Reminders even when Windows Calendar is not running.
It works great. Thank you!
Thanks so much. I missed this calendar app so much!
You’re a lifesaver! Thanks so much!!!
Thank you so much !!! it’s so helpful…!!!
Huge thank you!
Have calendar – Many thanks! Please could anyone tell me if I am to expect the reminder window to pop up on its own – ie without the whole calandar opening with it? If so any advice to help do that is apreciated.
Thanx
Thank you for this.
When I downloaded it came with reminders- chris (xml document).
What is reminders- chris (xml document) file for? Does it do anything?
Awesome! It worked the first time!! THANKS!!!!
Thanks that was a good help

awwwwwesome,works fine on my 64-bit windows 7
