As it mentions in the thread, rename the file with .zip extension then you can open it.

Do you have the preloaded map from Intense or are you using a Utec not originally supplied with the kit?

I got the setup from intense but the directions say to load the 600cc map onto the utech but I see that no were on the cd. The cd that came with the kit is useless all the files are corrupt on it. I don't know if the utech is loaded with a map already and intense never answer my phone calls or mails.

just load the 550cc map. That will get the car running. then you must tune it. you'd have to do the same thing even if there was a "600cc" map

The car will start and get onto a trailer in bypass mode (map0) or with the UTEC completely disconnected and 100% stock ECU. Just don't go driving around town. Leave the loading of maps and tuning to your tuner, it's not easy if you don't know your way around hyperterminal and serial interfaces.

It'll be pig rich but it'll run. Start it, get it on the trailer and shut it off.
