How do I make this calendar work?

I wasn't able to automatically open ics files in Outlook or import the calendar file after saving it.

Digging around for Outlook issues relating to this I found that you can edit the .isc file with notepad (or some other text editor) and remove the Version:2.0 line it is possible to import the file into Outlook 2003.

You probably need to edit the details in Outlook but at least you can transfer the majority of details.
