For people that are not so familar with IT, errors due to 32 XOR 64bit can pose a problem. Please add the following in the website.

In http://mytourbook.sourceforge.net/mytourbook/index.php/download-install change for Windows (maybe the same applies for other OS'es as well)
download the Windows installation programm mytourbook_x.x.x.win32.win32.x86.setup.exe from here (choose 32bit or 64bit fitting to your Java installation) and start the installation

Add in section "Problems" of http://mytourbook.sourceforge.net/mytourbook/index.php/bugs
Startup error message: Failed to load the JNI shared library "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\client\jvm.dll"
Usually, this error indicates that you downloaded a 32bit version of MyTourbook but have a 64bit version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed, or vice versa.
The easiest way to solve this error is to download MyTourbook in the 32 or 64bit version as your installed JRE is. To determine the version of your JRE, open a command prompt and execute
java -version
If the output messages contains no bit information (e.g. Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM) you have a 32bit JRE, if it contains the 64-Bit information (e.g. Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM) you have the 64bit JRE.
In case you have multiple JREs installed, you can set the desired JRE explicitly by executing e.g.
mytourbook.exe -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6_64bit\bin\javaw.exe"
