This tutorial shows what *should* happen.

If the installer doesn't open as shown, then two things come to mind. First, you may have a corrupt download. This happens sometimes, so delete the file and try downloading again.

The other possibility is that some security software on your computer is blocking the installer. Check the settings on your antivirus software to see if that's the problem.

Also, just to be clear, you have downloaded a Windows version of a map. It will only work on a Windows computer, so if you're using a Mac then that is the problem. :)
