    I downloaded the file as step 1 above but didn’t get the first or second screens. I double clicked the exe file in my documents/downloads and got a version of screen 3 without the title top left. I can’t progress any further.
    Any ideas?

      Did you extract the zip before running “fedora-arm-installer.exe” as an Administrator?

      Do you receive an error message? What is the brand/model of the SD card?

    Does this work on Windows Vista / 7 only ?

    or can I use it with XP, or under Wine ?

    I had a similar experience under Windows 7. On checking, the folder I expanded the Zip into was called Raspberry Pi. It objected to the space in the directory name.
