Installs fine here...

Please note though that there is a deficiency in the Mac OS/X package system that adds extra files to zip files without prompting the user.

See http://floatingsun.net/2007/02/07/whats ... -zip-files for more information.

Thanks ian.
i noticed that there was an issue. You must have known i was on a mac!

can i see it in action? Also if you are on a PC, can you zip it for me.

That would be very kind

I didn't know you were on a Mac except by opening up the archive -  I have seen this problem with Mac's before.

You can follow the instructions on the link I mentioned indicating how to get an archiver that works properly.

Even with the extra files, it installed fine here.

One can choose the files and use dropstuff instead of the Finder.
Usually, this get rid of the invisible files.

You can also use the command line's "zip" command which ignores the __MACOSX stuff if I remember correctly.

FWIW, this seems to have been my problem. If I hadn't seen your post, it never would have crossed my mind.
