Not sure what the problem could be other than either a corrupt archive or USB format. I have also read elsewhere that some USB sticks work better than others but never personally had such an issue and I use the cheapest around.

Some points to consider:
Usb stick must be formatted to fat32
The images zip file contents must be extracted and the 'vuplus' folder transferred to the root of the Usb stick.
Plug the Usb stick into 1 of the rear Usb ports and then power the box on.

The Zero will do its thing. Once complete the LED will flash on and off. Simply power off, remove Usb stick and power on again.

The whole process takes around 1 minute to complete.

Me too.
Can anyone who has done this on the zero confirm where the file goes when installing C**m Does it go in the tmp file or the var ???

Should there be a cfg file too and which folder does this go in.The same one or a different one ???

and finally do Catseye's go into any particular file ???

Depends which image you're using, if using Black Hole it's all there, in Lee's guides. The var foleder, etc sub folder, for Ccam, then load it as explained, in the guides.
