help installing gadgets

I downloaded a gadget form a web site contained in another MS gadget page.

It came with a .rar extension that I can't figure out how to install. The
file is DateVS.Gadget.rar form

http://www.onetostudio.com/gdgts.html

Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks in advance. Bob.
