Apart from that I can only suggest that you have missed something. I know you think that you haven't, that's why it's called missing ;-). Confirm tht you are using the unzipped version of the file. Format the card again in your computer. eject it properly, insert in your camera and format with that. Copy the unzipped file TO THE ROOT of the card in your computer, eject it properly. Make sure that you have a charged battery and try again.
