Cristy,
    When you double click on a Zip file, it doesn't open in an actual 
folder.  You only get to see the 'still compressed' contents in a WinZip 
window, kind of like looking at goods in a storefront window but still can't 
'touch' the merchandise.  You can start a file that's shown in that window 
(WinZip will first uncompress it to your Temp folder and then run it from 
there), but it will not be able to access the rest of the support files it 
needs until they are all uncompressed into the same true Windows folder.

Peace,
G
