You need to find out if the ViaMichelin supports "third party POIs". The manual should tell you.
It will also say what format they need to be in.
".csv" and ".ov2" are the two directly downloadable from here, but there are utilities available to convert them to other formats.

As for the PC problem you report.. WHEN does it say the file is invalid?
The downloaded file will be a "zip" archive, which you then need to use your PC to "un-zip" and extract the files (by right clicking on the archive and selecting "extract all".

The PC should recognise THAT zip file OK, so if it says it is corrupted, try re-downloading (you may need to select the "show link" option on the download page to get a good copy).

If that has worked and it is the EXTRACTED files that are not recognised, that may be fine. The .ov2 files for example are not intended to be used on the PC itself, you just use it to move them about without having to be able to open them.
