A user on the FrameMaker forum suggested downloading an evaluation copy of
WinZip and using it to manually extract the files. The plan worked.
If any of you ever have the same trouble with Adobe's self-extracting
template packets and you don't have WinZip, the link to WinZip's download
site is http://www.winzip.com/ddchome.htm.
