I tried installing windows media player today with the .bin file from the Microsoft website. When I double click this file, Excel automatically opens with a bunch of giberish. How am I supposed to go about installing a .bin file?

Open stuffit expander (if you don't have it, go to http://www.stuffit.com and download the free expander) and manually open the file to expand it.

I think I already have that since it comes standard in Tiger. It asked me if I wanted to open it with Stuffit when I was finished w/ my download. I clicked yes and it brought me to the excel page for some reason.
