I loaded the mod, anytime I clicked a computer it said fail to load Lua file. I reloaded it, and the same problem. I have been using Computer Craft since ti started and I've never had this problem before.
Error: Failed to mount rom/lua

Okay, it works. Sorry about that, last time I installed it it had to be extracted.

Well it doesn't need to be in the zip. Just make sure if you extract it, it is named "ComputerCraft".

I see no reason to not over complicate things, do you? What ever is easier for the user. I find it easier to extract since I can modify the ROM easily, funny thing is that I use MultiMC so it is actually in a zip file :P/>/>

if it's unzipped you can modify programs with a third party program (notepad++ :P/>/>) while the game is running and then just re-launch the program to test it. very useful. I always extract it

So, conclusion for noending conversation:
To fix the problem you either just put the zip in or you extract it and name it "ComputerCraft".
There is no real advantage of any of these methods.

If you want to install "global" APIs, OSes or bios mods, insisting on having it as a zip file is a lot more overcomplicated than just extracting the damn thing and removing 3-4 characters from the name.

Except you can also have a folder called ComputerCraft in which you can put files in, and the files in there will be merged with the files in the zip filesystem (with the files in the folder taking precedence).
Anyway, this topic has outweighed its usefulness - PEBCAK!
