Rename folder rerouting paths

I've installed PowerGallery before, many times. But I'm stuck on this one. The paths to the files is retaining the "rename_this_folder" path instead of the renamed folder. I've tried a couple of ways. I put the downloaded folder into DW. Renamed the "rename me" folder, then moved it from the downloaded folder to root. No luck. Then I tried moving the "rename me" folder to root, then renamed, etc... still no effect on all linked files. Any ideas, so much appreciated!

src="../../PowerGallery201-4/rename_and_upload_this_folder/admin_gallery/images/webassist.png"

This is for everything, links, scripts, etc.

Instructions say this:
Rename the folder

Your next step is to rename the rename_and_upload_this_folder directory that was extracted from the .zip file.
Most users will rename this folder 'powergallery' and upload the entire folder to their remote site.

I have tried renaming outside of DW and inside. I assume inside is the proper way to do it for changing file paths. Maybe it is a setting within DW that is causing this.

Update: I didn't figure out how to do it, but was able to get to installation page by doing a folder find/replace. Installing now; fingers crossed.

But if there is a setting in DW I need to reset, please share.

~~~Update: Installed. Next step: Add a gallery... not allowing a new gallery to install. More paths to find, I expect?

~~~
Checked Adobe notes: Select Always from the Update Links pop-up menu ... This is correct on my settings.

~~

Starting again (5th attempt) If any one has any insight, please advise. Thanks.

Finally got it installed. Here's the trick. Move the rename_and_upload folder out of core. Rename it. THEN add to DW. I was doing it totally backward.

WA: Please add clarification to instructions. Not renamed within DW. Renamed before adding to DW.

I hope this helps someone else.
