Never mind. I FINALLY, FINALLY GOT IT! Someone out there is a GOD! Ok that's a bit much, but seriously, it worked!!! Here's the solution:

I call them a god because i was ready to cry you guys, cry!! I didn't try it at first for a few reasons. Reason #1, my game was up to date. #2, the thread was 3 years old and given that everything I had was up to date and it made no sense to download something that I already have, I didn't try it until just a moment ago. If you have winrar (or something similar) and your game is up to date like mine, follow steps 3 and 4.
FINALLY. I wasted several hours with this hoping to play today even though it's not the end of the world. It's just a major head ache when you can't figure it out..
