Installing .deb

How to install .deb I already have on my harddrive?
I'm using Ubuntu, but when I double click it just opens it like an archive.

use the dpkg command with the -i filter from a terminal
ie
dpkg -i application.deb

Thanks, that's what I was looking for (after trying "install" and "deb" as commands)!
