Try Winrar www.rarlabs.com

It can decompress most compressed archives.

Edit. Direct download link fo english version:

If you already unzipped it, though, you might be trying to open a PBO file. You don't need to do this to install it.

After unzipping, extract/move the file to:
C:>Program Files>Codemasters>Operation Flashpoint>Addons

If the readme tells you to extract it to Res>Addons, then move it there instead of the regular addons folder.

Some mods have .exe installers, so you don't always have to worry about installing it manually.

I hope I could help. Like Dane said, it could just be you don't have WinRAR. ;)

For future reference, I suggest you go here (http://www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq/). If you can't find an answer there, there's always someone here to answer it. ;) Have fun!
