Alright, I don't know if I'm understanding what you're trying to do here.

To install a font, you don't need to compress it. If the fond you got over MSN was a .ttf file, the Windows Archive utility needn't be used - the file is already in usable format. Just drag-'n-drop it in C:\Windows\Fonts. The tutorial mentions the ZIP utility because most fonts available for download are in ZIPped archives so they can include a license along with the font.

Now, the error message you're getting makes it sound like you've installed a third-party archiving utility (such as WinRAR or 7z) which has been set as the default ZIP archiver. You tried to send it to the Windows ZIP utility, and the ZIP extension may be set to a different archiver.

Go to Start > Config Panel.

there, open Fonts

Click File > Install a new Font...

Browse to where your font is located.

Click OK.
