dude, my bad.
i run mac osX and everything i download is always "exploded" as in the .dmg, .zip files are automatically extracted to show the individual files.
when i ran AR using win2000 emulation, the free .zip software automatically expandes the .zip file just like i'm used to in macs. but when i have the AR software open, i wasted like 20min trying to drag exploded files from the .zip file. duh, just use the .zip file.
sorry if I didnt make sense
