Why is Deceits in .tar format? I can't open it!

I downloaded it from here:http://www.moddb.com/mods/deceits/downloads/deceits-v2-20100417Why put it in a .tar format that cannot be opened, with either WinZip or WinRar?

I'll try this and see if it works:A .tar.gz file is a compressed archive, similar to a zip file or a RAR file. In order to open a .tar.gz file, you need special software that knows how to decompress the archive.7-Zip is a free file archiver that runs on Windows and can open .tar.gz files. Download and install 7-Zip, and you will be able to open up your .tar.gz file.If 7-Zip does not launch when you double-click the .tar.gz file, ensure that 7-Zip is set to handle these types of files by default. * Open up 7-Zip * Click Tools → Options * Go to the “System” tab. * Make sure “tar” and “gz” are checked off. * Click “OK”.Now go back and try to open your .tar.gz file. 7-Zip will start up and decompress the archive.

I still can't get it to show up. Anyone know the correct path to place this file in? What folder should I extract it to? Please help.

CDPR's instructions for how to install new adventures say
How to install all these mods? It's really simple!For Windows XP: Copy the ADV file to the Shared DocumentsThe Witcher folder. Easiest way to find this is in My Computer. You should see a "m1_module.adv" file lready in this folder. If not, it's the wrong folder.For Windows Vista: Copy the ADV file to the PublicPublic DocumentsThe Witcher folder.

I have XP, and Shared Documents IS the right folder. It's not what the path name says if you open it in Windows Explorer, though; perhaps that's what confusing you. The path in Windows Explorer is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\The Witcher. (This is only for XP!)

O.K., thanks for the response. I'm using Vista, I'll see if I can find the right folder.
