The directions state to "rename the admin folder inside the 1_Installation_File on my hard drive to match the admin folder on my server". I don't understand why I'm renaming the Admin folder if I'm taking all the files out of the 1_Installation_File right? Because the directions say:

"DO NOT upload the "1_Install_Files" folder, just the CONTENTS of this folder"

And I am uploading everything in the 1_Install_file, even though some folders go down 3 and 4 deep) and ftping the files over to my administration folder on my server - right?

And with the file mergers, is there a reason why I couldn't perform the file merger corrections with Filezilla on my server instead of downloading files to be renamed to my computer then - re-uploading them to my server?

Sorry if this is obvious to some. But am totally new.

Thanks for any and all help.

Had to reread this a couple of times to understand what the issues were and just had an aha moment...

Couple of things. The instructions are written from the perspective of one size fits all. The merge could take placein space if that works for you, but understand, if you deviate from the instructions things can go wrong and then providing/getting assistance can get messy.

The reason to rename the admin directory, besides that's what the instructions say,is so that you can easily grab the contents of the install folder and place those contents at the root of your store. This way there are no "forgotten" or misplaced files or other related issues assuming that you use a quality ftp client.that doesn't continuously drop files. This is the typical method used to install plugins. Dont think too hard about how to follow the instructions.
