Easy Populate - My 1 Unanswered Question

Ok, call me naive, newb, rookie, idiot, whatever. But, I've read everything online I possibly could and one answer many seem to have figured out that I cant, and even the install.txt manual doesn't seem to specify. I am fully conscious of the fact I need to upload my files to their "respective" directories, but WHERE exactly are those respective directories? Do I place the admin folder under my zen cart admin folder? do I place the temp folder in my root directory? What and where??

"respective" means basically "the files from folder "xyz" on your PC go into the "xyz" folder in your Zen Cart folder" ...
That is, "respective" suggests matching names/structures.

So, since Zen Cart has folders like this:

/admin/
/admin/includes/
/admin/includes/languages/
/images
/includes/
/includes/classes/
/includes/languages/
/includes/templates/
... etc

Then since your zip file ALSO includes folders of similar names/structures/subfolders, you would put files from matching folders in their corresponding matching/respective/same-name/whatever-you-wanna-describe-it-as folders of your Zen Cart folder.

ie: files IN your zip file's /admin/ folder would go IN your Zen Cart /admin/ folder. Don't copy the /admin/ folder into another /admin/ folder, because that would create a new /admin/admin/ folder which would not work.
