The 2009-07 release of the Edition introduced a revised framework. You should place the unzipped contents of the AE release for your platform into an "Edition" folder in a fresh copy of Oni's folder, rather than a copy of Oni that already had an older Edition installed. Following is a rundown of how globalization and mod installation work and how to make your own mod packages, which is required in order for the AE Installer to handle your mod properly.
