The Visual Studio installation will register a handler for the VSIX extension. This allows you to just double click on the file and it will run the installer.

In case that association is broken you can manually run the installer. It is located at

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\VSIXInstaller.exe

Usually you just need to double click a .vsix file to install the plugin. I think codesnippets.vsix has been made specifically for VS 2013, so I am not sure it will work with VS 2012.
