Hello!
As it seems the extension of installation package in not 'zip' OR the Mime Type of it is not one of the following: application/zip, application/x-zip, application/x-compressed, application/x-zip-compressed and multipart/x-zip.

Question: Have you modified the installation package?

No!
I've tried to repack the extension because also the original package gave always the same error.
Since I am a curious and i like to get a look how the great chief programm  :), this night after the great and victorious tank battles on line,  i've tried to disable this set of instruction in admin.php of IOSreservation
*************************
if (($filext != 'zip') || !in_array(strtolower($_FILES['package']['type']), array('application/zip', 'application/x-zip', 'application/x-compressed', 'application/x-zip-compressed', 'multipart/x-zip'))) {
         $link = $elxis->makeAURL('reservations:extensions/');
         $elxis->redirect($link, 'IOSR extension package must be a zip file and your server set the correct MIME type!', true);
      }
=======================
and i've installed the package sucessfully.
i looked also the configuration of apache and php in my local server and i saw some application/blablabla are not present (are in bold in the code prospect.

These lines is a security check (to prevent someone try to install a bad file renamed as zip).
Your browser doesn't set the proper mime type for zip package. This can happen for various reasons but mostly antivirus, modified browser signature/haders, and browser plugins. If I do the install it will be installed fine...

It happened the same thing to me when i installed it.
The same answer: IOSR extension package must be a zip file and your server set the correct MIME type!
I just tried with internet explorer, instead of Mozilla and Chrome and it went through. ;D

Personally I use Firefox and everything it is installed perfectly good.
So, it is not a matter of the browser itself but on something you have on the browser, like a plugin, a javascript blocking tool, a toolbar, something that manipulates browser headers, or something like that. Don't install bad things on your browser that track and log your visits or do other things without knowing them. Keep your browser clean! And especially, don't use browsers with bad and silly plugins installed on anything you do that includes money and personal information. The browser is a tool, not a game.

I confirm that the installation process of that package completed successfully with Firefox!
