Right, the USB setup software was an .exe and opened, intalled, fine.It was the firmware update for the Gecko that was a zip file .xup. I was able to unzip it but not open the .xup file to install it.
Try this link from over on RCG, it is a thread that has instructions for the various firmware updates with links to the downloads from Altitude Hobbies which is where I got mine some 4 yrs ago.

Thanks for the information. I just received an 85A Mantis from Motion. I will try it in one of my planes that have the 85A Gecko. I did follow the link and when I got the file it was the .xup. I have the installer dashboard installed. That was standard .exe file. If you google it there are several programs you can download that will open it however most are not recommended. I asked an IT friend to check and see how I can open it safely. I am not computer savvy so I could be missing something.

Just bought 2 of these for a twin and am now having issues. on the bench just starting the motors up. about 2-out of 10 times, one motor will not start, but the other will run. I cant get them both to run until I completely throttle down. Its maddening as Ive tried all kinds of reconfigs with the battery, esc and Receiver to try to eliminate. I did a reset on both using the manual beep method. Maybe I need to adjust the timing? Or maybe just return them.
