Check that 'stuffit' used the 'zip' format when you regenerated the archive. I haven't used this tool to know if this would be an issue, but its wikipedia page says it uses it's own proprietary compression format

Re: Corrupt Zip Archive

Have you tried installing using the makefile(s) that come with the demo apps? If you have 'make', 'zip', and 'curl' installed you should be able to do so from the command line.

Using the command line (I believe it's called 'Terminal' in OSX) cd into the rokudev/examples/source/audioapp and run 'make install'.

Re: Corrupt Zip Archive

Sounds like you're in the wrong directory. From the same directory, post the output of both the 'pwd' and 'ls' commands.

Also make sure there's no extra dotfiles in there, I got bit by the the first time I did an install. OSX sometimes likes to drop in an unexpected file.
