[Closed] Linux installer does nothing linux mint 13 xfce 4

Linux installer does nothing. Running linux mint 13 xfce 4, 32 bit. The downloaded installer file is named qcad-3.4.6-pro-linux-x86_64.run. Reading earlier posts, it seems the installer might be named with a .bin extension in the past.(?) At any rate, I renamed the file to a .bin extension in properties but it still does nothing. I should point out that I have downloaded the file about 4 times. When I click on "download" it does not download a file but rather opens a new tab in Firefox browser and the code for the file is displayed in the browser window. It does nothing. To download the file I right click on 'download' and click 'save link as' ; it will then download the file with the .run extension as stated above. I mark it as executable under properites but it does nothing when I try to run it. I have not uncompressed the .tar file as I would much prefer to get the installer working. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
