How to access Windows Live Calendar off of old hard drive

Hi,

My laptop, running Windows 7, died, and so my hard drive was put into an enclosure so that I can retrieve my data. My new laptop runs Windows 8.

I was using Windows Live - not synced up online, just offline on my laptop - for my calendar.

I can go into my old hard drive and find the Windows Live folder, and under Mail find a bunch of files, including the Mail application. However, the Mail application won't open.

I would like to be able to retrieve the data from my calendar, but am out of ideas about how to do so. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sean
