Which Package?

I know this forum is for the VPC but that didnt work for me.Im trying to download the VMWare Server but Im confused as to which one.
Ive got XP Home on my pc and plan to run Linux virtually so if someone could have a quick peek http://register.vmware.com/content/download.html and point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated

I downloaded the .exe and installed it on XP with no problems, but I don't know whether the .zip is the same download but compressed.

I went for the .exe but I'll leave until morning to try it out.
