glsmas:

I thought you already unzipped the download file.

The action which takes place by double-click an icon of a file
depends on the system settings. In most part, the correct
application for the file (determined by the the file type ---
which is denoted by the ending of the file name (so-called
file extension) e.g., .DOC is usually assigned to MS Word).

I was not aware that .ZIP file is mapped to a registry-related
program. Anyway, what you need is a utility which unzips
a .ZIP file.

They have a freeware, PKZIP and PKUNZIP (they are the originator
of the ZIP format). Winzip is even more popular these days.

Download and install the zip/unzip utility.
