Q: Why do my program download installs go to textedit?

Hi guys,

This may be a dumb question, but thank God for Apple communities with people can answer dumb questions. I am trying to install a program on my Mac (YouTube Video Downloader-http://youtubedownloader.com/). When I download it, the default program that opens the installer is Textedit. It is an .exe file. Am I missing something? Is there something I don't know about TextEdit? It opens as an editable document with symbols and characters. Any feedback would be helpful. Thank you guys.

 

Appreciate you,
