Good morning Misplon, I took a few days off which is why I had not posted a new item. Just before I left I found the issue; the security settings on my corporate desktop automatically blocks certain files types when a download from a foreign server is performed. By going to the properties window of the downloaded file and clicking on Unblock, I was able to extract all the files. Also, by placing the folder and files under ..\Content\Plugins\.. I did not need to “upload” the zip file in to my installation of WordPress, it simply recognized them and gave me the choice to activate them.
Thanks again for your help. Hope this helps someone in the future.
