i'll look to see that the file extensions are turned off.I am sure they are that is the way the file imports just as update not update.zip
Haha lol oh dear your typing in the wrong command lol, type this
Code:
md5sum /folderwhereyoudownloaded/update.zip
MAKE SURE "/folderwhereyoudwonloaded/update.zip points to the original update.zip you downloaded on your computer. So if it's in your downloads folder /downloads/update.zip
Be for warned I'm on a mac so I'm a little rusty with Windows terminal commands lol
EDIT: just saw your added screencaps for the sake of troubleshooting can you uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" in your first screencap of your folder preferences?
EDIT2: Ok which update.zip are you trying to install? This is the latest one from Pete Bugless beast he has up: http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=309&t=2614
Download it and do the md5sum command on it after putting it on your sdcard make sure its: b9898b123620f3391338599abceb4ce3

Haha lol! Glad you got it to work!! 

I'm guessing that you might have just been downloading an older version as Matth3w's tut's were made a while back so the files linked may not have been the up-to-date ones? Not sure but glad you got it working anyway!! 
Enjoy!!
