    An error occurred while loading archive

    I've got samsung tv and need to download and extract a file from their website to make bbc iplayer work again. The update is too large to go direct to the tv so I have to put it on a usb stick and load it on myself. I've downloaded the file but got this error message

    An error occurred while loading the archive.
    Archive: /home/kojakpeg/Downloads/T-MST12DEUC_1113.0.exe[/home/kojakpeg/Downloads/T-MST12DEUC_1113.0.exe]
    End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
    a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
    latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
    the last disk(s) of this archive.
    zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/kojakpeg/Downloads/T-MST12DEUC_1113.0.exe or
    /home/kojakpeg/Downloads/T-MST12DEUC_1113.0.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/kojakpeg/Downloads/T-MST12DEUC_1113.0.exe.ZIP, period.

    Apart from trying it in windows is there anything I can do

    Thanks

    Update
    on the samsung firmware webpage
    it says
    to view PDF file, you must have Adobe Acrobat reader installed on your computer]
    , which I have. It also says
    you must have the DjVu viewer installed on your computer.
    below is the link to the DjVu webpage
    http://djvu.org/resources/

    Update
    I must be blind, I reread the DjVu website and saw it had a linux version So I installed it from the software centre. However I am still getting the error message
    An error occurred while loading the archive.

    So I'm still at a loss as to what to do

    Judging from the extension it's not simply an archive, but a Windows executable. This could be a self-extracting archive, which can be handled by Ubuntu, but it doesn't recognise it as such. Your best bet would be using a Windows box, if you have one available.
