I have questions regarding to Eclipse editor first. So, when I download the eclipse editor for Windows, after I download it, it was a zip file. After I unzip the whole package, I don't see any executable files, so, how should I install it?
My second questions regarding to Notepad++. There are a couple of options for downloading Notepad++; the installer, zip file, and the package file. Which one should I download? Should I download the installer? Maybe the executable file is within it? Any advise on both downloads?

Eclipse is a Java program, so you need the Java Runtime engine. Details for the installation of Eclipse are here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_Where_do_I_get_and_install_Eclipse%3F
It doesn't matter whether you download the installer (.exe) file or the .zip file for Notepad++ The .exe installer is less trouble, perhaps.
