Managed to get it to compile.......
I played with 7Zip, and found out that the folder structure is not preserved when you open the compressed file with 7zip, and then proceed to extract it. When you open the compressed file, you can see that there are loads of configuration files, all with the same name, and all in the same directory - hence you get a choice of what to do with the duplicate files dialogue box. This is because it is not preserving the folder structure. Normally, all of these configuration files should be in their own separate folders.
However, if you right click the compressed file and selet "7zip - extract files", you have a few options to choose. If you select "full pathnames", this will preserve the folder structure of the compressed file, and you will get the correct end result. There will now, not be any duplicate files, as all of the same named files are actually now placed in their own separate folders.
Also, if you right click and select "7zip - extract here" - it will also preserve the folder integrity.
So, basically if it asks you about duplicate files when extracting, then it is not preserving the folder integrity, and you will not be able to complie with Arduino.
I could not find a way of setting 7zip, such that when you open the archive, and then select extract, it will preserve the folder structure - right click the file only !!!
