I think we can be pretty sure his problem is he doesn't have a utility to unzip a .rar file.
J. Passepartout, try www.7-zip.org .

I've seen what happens when one Assumes.AndrewT said:
but if that is the case try WinRAR, you can find it at tucows.
I tried AndrewTs thing, and it didn't work.
And yes, I wasn't able to do anything because I wasn't sure how to work with the RAR.
I'll look for WinRAR.

WinRAR very friendly, if you can use winzip you should not have a problem with winRAR.
What do you mean it didn't work? The link didn't work? The utility there failed to unzip the files? They unzipped OK but didn't install right?
It worked fine for me, which is why I mentioned it.

I ASSUME the linked worked but the program did not which is why I recommended a different one.

As I said, the program DOES work as I use it myself. Some assumptions are more warranted than others
Go with winrar, much more user friendly. Took me all of 20 minutes to d/l winrar, figure out how to use winrar, and install the patch. I am not the brightest bulb when it comes to files and all those computer thingys.

When I went to install the patch it asked me which program I wanted to use and the 7-zip wasn't on the list. As I haven't actually downloaded winrar maybe someone knows I'm doing something wrong.
JP - I found winrar much easier to use than 7-zip. Never really figured out 7-zip, winrar pretty easy.

Execute 7-zip as a program, and open the patch from within it.

Sorry, but I just downloaded the other one and it worked. Thanks anyway.
And thanks for the help, everyone.
