I am guessing that the icon is a link to the installation folder. I
would suggest you double click the icon and find the file
setup_guide.pdf. Read this guide. It contains all the instructions you
need to install the program. Pay especial attention to what is on page
27 about file associations.
The program you need to install OpenOffice.org is also in that same
folder: setup.exe. But remember: read the guide first. It will well
worthwhile. (Since you are using windows, you can safely skip the
sections of the setup guide that refer to other operating systems.
