Welcome to the community. Project file/aia is a zip type file and can be extracted with 7zip or winrar or a similar program (this is used in special occassions).
Aia files can not be opened and edited by a program in your pc, only at ai2.appinventor.mit.edu .
Same thing for app/apk files, can not run in pc unless you have an android emulator
