Actually I was talking about the facebook theme 1.1 that is the one that won't load for me. I tried it on two different machines.

Not my way of thinking, Steve.

If a component fails to install - there are 3 possible reasons:
1. the zip file is no valid zip at all, or uploaded incompletely because of provider restrictions (upload size limits) for instance
2. the zip is physically intact, but doesn't match OSSNs specifications (that's what Sathish already said)
3. the OSSN component installer has a problem.

The solution can't be to find a tricky way to "solve" failures manually, we have to track down where things go wrong.

In case of Moneya's Chat Component, I checked both Moneya's original (which is NOT installable) and my un-zipped/re-zipped archive (which IS installable) on my Linux machine with "unzip -t". Both files passed this validation without a problem. And that means: The component installer fails under certain conditions and needs some investigation.
