You should be able to double click the file to see its contents and extract from there, or right click and choose "extract here" from the menu. You should read the upgrade notes (usually in a file called UPGRADE, on their website where you downloaded it or similar) on how to perform the upgrade. Usually it is a case of disabling any extra modules the site is using, copying the new files over the old ones and running an upgrade script.
If you provided us with the name of the software I would be better able to help :)
Can you help with this problem?
