auto discovery wizards wipe out 'view' of all wizards

I'm encountering issues with the 'auto-discovery' wizards. I've had to restore from backup several times now, as with each attempt to upload/install either of the 'auto-discovery' wizards, it wipes out the ability to view any wizards at all. Since I can't view any wizards, I can't use any wizards at all to configure anything.
I'm on a 'trial' version of Nagios XI 2011 R5
Is there a known fix for this, or?

This generally happens when either
a) The component is installed in place of the wizard
b) Either component or wizard gets renamed
Fix for solution:
Login to your Nagios XI box and type:
rm
/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/autodiscovery/autodiscovery.inc.php
-f
This will remove the offending PHP file.
To install the autodiscovery wizard and component its best practice to:
1) Clear all files from your download directory with the name autodiscovery
2) Download the Wizard, making sure its filename is autodiscovery.zip .
If its name is anything else (included autodiscovery(1).zip ) it will
not work.
3) After install, delete the downloaded wizard from your Download
directory.
4) Download the component and follow the same precautions.
Autodiscovery should now be available.

Those steps worked great for the 'autodiscovery' zip file and it loaded with no issue. I then removed the 'autodiscovery.zip' file from the download directory, and renamed the autodiscovery component zip file to 'autodiscovery.zip' and put it in the download directory. I tried uploading this zip in Nagios XI, and it wiped out the view of all wizards again.
Am I missing something here? Is there a specific name the 'autodiscovery component' zip file needs to be named?
Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ignore the last reply. I have it working. Being new to Nagios XI and testing it out, I missed the difference between the wizard and the component parts as being separate 'uploads'.
My bad.
Thanks for the help!

I am happy you got it working.
In regards to:
Is there a specific name the 'autodiscovery component' zip file needs to be named?
the name of the component file is: "autodiscovery.zip" (same as the wizard file).
Renaming it will create installation problems. We will be changing these names sometime in the future, because it is kind of confusing right now.
