Hi, looks like you you are trying to extract a .exe file. The .exe files are used by windows and not native to linux. I would recommend using something like amsn which is similar to msn.
You can install amsn by opening a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and typing
sudo apt-get install amsn

Whoa, this isn't a compressed archive, this is a Windows program. Anything with ".exe" at the end is a Windows program and can't be used on Linux except possibly with Wine. And I don't think MSN Messenger works in Wine.
Your system comes with Pidgin (Applications > Internet > Pidgin Internet Messenger), which can connect to the MSN messenger network.
