For those just downloading the installer, check inside your downloaded file first (and ALWAYS for future packages) and be sure that there is only one zip inside called 'package.zip'. Do not unzip that file. Sometimes they wrap the package in another zip for downloading off their website. If you do not catch a double zipped package, you bring doom and reinstall for your application. Follow the instructions on installing packages as suggested on www.sdn.sitecore.net . After installing, it is not a finished out of the box product. Follow the instructions below.
