Friend having trouble running Maptools

Hello again.

My friend is having issues running Maptool on his Windows 10 PC. He downloads the .rar file and extracts all of maptools, he installed the latest java (8u101) and when he goes to select java as the programs default running app, it doesnt appear. When he manually selects java the program flashes a command prompt then crashes. We have tried using earlier versions of java 7 and 6, tried using older maptools and even tried converting .jar to .exe and nothing. We play tomorrow so any info would be appreciated.

There is no rar file to extract, so I'm guessing you're doing something wrong, eg extracting the .jar file?
