Hi,
The downloaded file is a ZIP archive. Before you can install OpenOffice,
you need to unpack the archive. Windows XP can do this easily with its
integrated ZIP utility, but the Windows 9x series lacks this tool. I
recommend you to download 7-zip <http://www.7-zip.org> (free and
open-source); as you install it just associate all suggested file
extensions with 7-zip (it will probably prompt you), and then you should
be able to open the OpenOffice file with just a double click.
