Pretty much all burning packages will unpack and burn this onto disk seamlessly for you without needing a separate "unpacking" stage. But if you want to open it use 7-Zip or WinRAR, do you have the matching .cue file?
Agreeing with the above comment 7-zip is my favorite. Once installed just right click the .bin and extract to the same location. You can then drag the files to your CD-ROM and burn it. Also on a side note .bin files will be extracted simply by dragging them from their .bin containers (or into your CD-ROM).

I downloaded 7-zip and I tried to extracted and I got an error Can not open file \***.bin as archive???
Is it a binary file and not a disk image at all? Is there a .cue file with it?

no .cue file.
