i dont understand this part, can you go through the steps of what you mean?
Self-extracting archive is just like a RAR file, except it is combined with an executable code that allows the archive to be unpacked without need for a third-party program (that's why it's called self-extracting, duh)

i tried extracting one of the rar files and winrar gave me a message about invalid/corrupt information when it was extracting, and same if i tried to extract the .exe file.
Run WinRar first. Then from its manager window locate the executable file and try to open it. Don't be surprised, just see what will result.

and the other 5 are rar files
winrar gave me a message about invalid/corrupt information
Sounds like a multi-part archive (not uncommon, back in the days).
You might want to tell us the exact names of the files and the exact contents of the error message.
