RE: Install Plugin
First, use WinRAR to un-rar the file, then look at the files extracted. If one is 'installer.exe' or 'setup.exe' then run that. Otherwise, read the ReadMe.

RE: Install Plugin
You can get WinRAR here. Then do as raceprouk says, execute the installer. If it doesn't have an installer, usually extracting the dll file to Plus plugins folder works.

If it is a Plugin coded in VB or VB.net you will need to add information into the Registry that should come with the Plugin, and you will also need to register the dlls if they do not have an installer.

VB: regsvr32 *dllname*
VB.Net & C#: regasm *dllname*

It also depends, my plugins (made in Delphi) don't need registering.
