Try 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org), it's free.

Frankly I'm not sure where you're at that says you must purchase winzip. Hundreds of people download our maps without needing to purchase any software.

Go to Control Panel > Program and Features, find Winzip and uninstall.

Do not pay for Winzip — it's a scam

Download and install 7z which I mentioned above if you want (but actually you don't even need that).

Actually Winzip is not Free. You need to buy a license to "continue" using it.

7z is freeware and it will open Winzip files.

The Map from MfM is in *.exe format and it will install and generate the map file (Gmapsupp.img) automatically when selected. You don't need either Winzip or 7z.
Common Sense Is Not Common.
