I assume you are trying to install Windows drivers using ndiswrapper. http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/jooml...

The file you have highlighted above is a self-extracting zip archive file.  You can extract the files using the program 'unzip'.   Copy the file into a directory of its own as the files will be extracted to the same directory it is stored in and you don't want the files to be just anywhere.  Run 'unzip R151517.EXE' and the archive will be unpacked. Two directories are included in the archive.  One of them is named DRIVERS. The .inf file is in this directory.

You may need to install the 'zip' utility first.
