The problem is the packages were made zips using a Mac. When unziped
with anything but Aladdin there is a change that makes NCU not see them
as packages. If you take strip.exe, put it in a folder along with the
package you want to use then drag and drop the package onto the
strip.exe. Then you just install that new package with NCU. It will
work. I have had this problem with many many packages and 99.9% of the
time if fixes the issue.
It is just a old Mac Vs Windows problem, but easily fixed in this case.
