2. Login as Administrator - backend.

3. Select Extensions -> Install/Uninstall.

4. Click the Browse button and select the extension package from your local machine.

5. Click the Upload File & Install button.

Thanks Very much for the help

Well thats a good start, but when i do the browse to the unzipped folder and click on it my only option is to open the folder which means i would have to drill down and load each file individually.

I am probably missing something simple but do get why that would be the case.

Hi

I think you are choosing the wrong file. Go one step back again and choose Unzip file looks yellow colour with Zip. Did you manage to see my document which I have enclosed with screen dumps in my previous post. Thanks. Please let me know.
