Installation
If you downloaded the installer, just execute it and follow the instructions. To run Quivi, open it in the Start > Programs menu.
If you downloaded the zip file, unzip it to a location of your choice. To run Quivi, execute the file Quivi.exe inside the unzipped folder.
It's not possible to install for the current user on Windows Vista using the installer. Please use the zip file instead. This is only an issue if you don't have administrator credentials to install for all users (you usually do).
