@Docjay487

By default, you should be able to open up a *.zip file in windows.

If I get you correctly, you have an application that is contained within a *.zip file you want to install? If that is the case, then simply open the *zip file (double click) and click on the executable for the application contained there in.

If however the archive file isn't *.zip, just like @davho mentioned, you may need to download a 3rd party application like Winrar to uncompress and install the contained application.

Regards.

Addition to what have stated above, when you double click inside the folder you will see either SETUP or the Software it's self, click in it, the Wizard will appear, then follow that. Remember to close all the open programs before you commence to avoid restarting your sytem after the installation among others.

No problem bro!.

*.7z is just another archiving format. If you have Winrar installed, its the same procedure you did with the *.rar. It would open the *.7z archive.
If you don't have Winrar installed, then download and install 7zip
