Download issues Windows 7 College course program

Trying to download a GIS mapping program from Purdue Univ. Seems to download to my "Dwonloads" file. When I look at the Download folder it shows an icon with correct title, but I can't see any files when I double click on it. This is not a "file folder" icon. I get an "Open file Security Warning" pop up. Shows run or cancel. Hit run it brings up "Win Zip Self Extractor" pop up. I have already supposedly unzipped this into the downloads. Have been through the issues of downloading Google Earth and think I have worked this out. Any help on this program appreciated. School will start soon!

Sounds like it's a .zip file that is not unzipped to me.

Right click on it and click on Extract All. That will unzip it to a folder with the same name as the zip file. Open the folder and everything should be there.

When I go into Internet Explorer and right click I don't have the selection of "Extracting"????

Go ahead and double click on it and let Win Zip Self Extractor run. That should give you the uncompressed files/folders.
