DSS is a Zip file innit ?

You could download WinRar if ZIp doesn't do it -

Copy the files in the RAR into Program Files/DeepSkyStacker and overwrite the originals. You should be able to just drag and drop them from WinTUG or whatever into the correct folder. Say Yes when Windows asks it it should allow it.
