7-Zip is an archiving utility, much like Winzip.

The file you are downloading is a self-extracting archive. I had no problem extracting in it's present form, or with WinRAR. You may want to try re-downloading it, and if you get the same error, try using another archive program (like WinRAR) to open it, then run the executable inside the archive.

I looked at it. It looks like a self extracting file. Don't use 7 zip. ya should not need it. Or re-download again and delete the original. as mentioned just double click the exe file.
