This updates the unzip logic in the installer to strip the leading
"modules/"prefix from extracted files, ensuring they're placed directly into
Documents/maya/modules/as expected.In some cases — possibly only when a 'modules/' folder already exists — the
installer was creating a nested path like
modules/modules/simplex/, which Mayadoes not scan by default.

Proposed Changes
