joomla install from folder option giving errors

I have an extension to install to upload into the joomla 3.4.5 and it is greater than 2Mb and getting this figured raised is not likely.

So I want to use the 'install from folder option'

Its the extension_name zip

Here's what I have done:

Unzipped it into a folder called extension_name

Uploaded this folder into the tmp folder for the site

Set the path field into the 'install from folder' to /path_to_temp_folder/extension_name

When I press install I get this error:

"Please enter a package folder. Unable to find install package"

I look in the folder event_registration_pro_v3.2.5 and I see this: backend - folder frontend - folder changelog.txt install.name.php name.xml

I really need a fast answer with this so any ideas!!!

You only have to put the whole content of you extension_name.zip into your tmp folder under your joomla Installation.

So unzip the extension and copy it via ftp to /tmp.

At Extensions: Install go to Install from Folder and press the Install Button.

On newer version you can try to change the folder in Install from Folder the correct subfolder [joomla root path]/tmp/[your sub folder]
