No, you dont have to unzip the folder for the install.
But if you dont get it to work, you should go for the manual install package instead.
There you have to download the package on you local machine, and extract the zip, upload the files to your server through FTP.

Then make the changes to the files needed manually (copy and paste some code in several files) then run the manual tp install file from your browser to get the database tables needed.

If you read in the install TP forum you have a guid there and a textfile to download to guide through the install

Jeremy, I would suggest you read up on the installation methods for TinyPortal. It really is not as confusing as it seems to be. I think there's a link in my sig for installation. You probably can't use the package manager because of your PHP settings that your host has on your server. Doing it manually you have to make sure any edits you make to the files are done right. You obviously didn't do it right or you wouldn't see any of the code on your links that you provided. You can grab the files from a fresh download of SMF and start over if you need. If not, you'll have to find the errors in the code that you made.
