ok. this ensures that the problem is not in the zipfile (in principle you could have had a defective zip exe in the clrmame folder giving issues)
unfortunately, I'll be at work for some time, so I cannot test directly this until tonight/tomorrow.
could you try a last test? try moving the unzipped files out of the folder (but leaving the empty folder there). now the audit should work and report some missing roms for this set (I guess 4?) then try adding one rom at time and report which is giving issues (any single one? a specific one?)
