Chances are that the install file is a Windows file which won't work without help (e.g. through "Wine (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine)")

EDIT: I'm a bit geographically distant to use netzero, perhaps some other Ubuntu user is able to provide some more useful suggestions.

Have a look at this thread, it may help:

Once you have copied the file from your windows partition to your desktop, just double-click the .deb file to install.
