Developing Component: Error With Menu Item

I'm trying to learn how to develop a Joomla component, according to this tutorial: http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_(MVC)_Component_for_Joomla!1.6_-_Part_01

I'm on Part 4. My problem is that I build the component and zip it, then install. But Joomla adds -"component" word after my component's name, in folders and in menu item. For example, let's say my component's name is "stack". So it's "com_stack". I build it that way, when I install it, folders in /components and /administrator/components are "com_stackcomponent". And the link under Components menu is "administrator/index.php?option=com_stackcomponent" So it doesn't open it.

I can manually change folders' names, but how to change the link under menu?

Or, how to solve it from the beginning?

Its doing that because you stopped at step 4 of 17 steps. A few steps later it explains how to properly name the component.

To fix the link in the menu, go to phpMyAdmin and search for "stackcomponent", then edit accordingly.

Unfortunately its not really a solution to your problem - I've not used Joomla 1.6 so don't know why it would be doing that.
