Arduino Mega Firmware

I downloaded the firmware for the Arduino Mega and unzipped it. I double clicked on the EZ- MEGA - V1 but it did not load into my Arduino IDE. It just asked what app I wanted to open it with. The file I downloaded was dated 10/11/2021. If you have any ideas about what I am doing wrong I would appreciate it?

Slow Project Load

I have a baffling problem that I hope someone else has been able to solve. I have set up a Rock PiX running Windows 10 Pro with ARC Runtime version and one ARC project.
