It's actually a (self-extracting) zip-archive that needs to be extracted into the 'Resources' folder of your DS2 installation.
After the extraction there will be a batch file called 'Convert_DS1_to_DS2.bat'. Then you can drag-&-drop (with your mouse) a tank from DS1 (installed or from CD) onto this batch file in order to create a copy of this tank that DS2 is able to read (only the tank/file format will change, the tank content itself however won't be updated).
It's a rather primitive 'tool' though, it should work on Windows systems with 32bit, and on 64bit systems probably too.

Edit:
Instead of using a hex-editor you can try using this auxiliary tool: Convert_DS1_to_DS2_Setup.exe (45kB)
