The file you got is compressed for download, using Stuffit. You just
need the free version of Stuffit expander, from the Mac OSX site :

I would strongly suggest using the Flip4Mac codecs for QuickTime
instead.
That's what MS recommends nowadays anyway.
It allows you to open WMV and WMA files in QuickTime player or through
the QuickTime internet plug-in. It works tremendously better than WMP
(but doesn't support DRM).

(watch the carriage return in the link)
