Question zip files

Help needed for a somewhat newbee!!!!! I am on a G5 iMac using 10.4.5. I just dowloaded **** pro which is in a zip file. I highlighted osx when searching. When I opened the file it contianed two files one with the sn and the other containg the installer. The installer file is an .exe file. I tried opening this but got a message from zipit that for several reasons the file could not be opened. This has also happened with several other osx programs I have downloaded from limewire in zip format. I contacted the zipit guys and was told that .exe files are for PC. Can anyone confirm this or tell me how to open the .exe files? If the zipit guys are conrrect why are the .exe files listed under osx?

Regards and thanks to any or all that can help.
