Looks like your computer is configured to open JAR files with WinRAR.

You can change this by going to Control Panel > Default Programs

Set java as the program to open JAR files.

Alternatively you can open a cmd window or PowerShell window and type the command

java -jar <path to your JAR file>

Good Luck!
