Trouble installing CS4 Master Collection

Question

I am in the process of trying to transfer my CS4 Master Collection to my new computer, but I no longer have the installer so I had to download one from Download Adobe Creative Suite 4 products

I download both file 1 and 2 for Windows and save it in a folder on my desktop. Once the installers are downloaded I try to launch file 1 and I get this error

I have tried extracting the files using WinZip and 7Zip, but it only creates a folder with 10 blank files.

I have the same problem when trying to run file 2.

I am using a windows 7 computer.

I also have my serial number in hand, but I no longer have my installer for CS4 Master Collection.

I do see the problem, and part of it is that file extensions are turned off in Windows 7 where you cannot see the 1.2 MB file is an .exe and the other file is a 5.4 GB .7z that the .exe opens to create the installer.

If extensions are turned off, both files have the same name and you don't know what they are.
