When unzipping the file located at http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1177
There is only a SQL file. So the only thing I can find to do with that was

1) use the 'Install SQL Patches' tool from within admin - this causes an error asking to reload the page. I have tried pasting in the SQL and uploading from my desktop. Both ways cause the same error.
2) upload to my hosted server and place in the zen card installation - read on one of the threads that ZC would know where to install files correctly. Maybe not. So I also tried place the SQL in my admin folder and when that didn't work, into
Code:
*/includes/
Actually I find the lack of information regarding installing modules entirely frustrating. Spent at least 8 full hours trying to locate the answer and trying different methods. But back to my moment of Zen..

So I gave up entirely and after individually coding prices and setting tax to every item I thought there must be a free module to do this in bulk. SO I checked out Apsona which even gave a wonder ONE MINUTE step by step install video. http://apsona.com/pages/ec/tour.html
Trouble is even after clearing my cache on my browser I can't for the life of me get even Apsona to appear in the tool drop down.

Is something blocking me potentially from seeing these kind of files in my installation. It's seems incredibly over complicated for what I am trying to do. I could have hand coded in the postal zones across all of Europe myself by now.

Anyone care to shed some light onto this for me? Getting this shop up and running is seriously becoming a matter of survival.
