Root Need Help With SU 3.0.7

Hey guys I really need your help, I have an HTC Evo 4g and i was rooting my phone using S-Off and i did all the steps needed to root it until i came to the part where i had to download SU and extract into my sd card. The only way for my sd card to show up on my computer was to change my phone setting to mount as disk drive, that was the only way i could of placed the zip file into my sd card. After i was done i put it into charge only mode then i did the hboot and launched CWM. I tried to install SU as a zip file like followed but i came across an error that said installation aborted cant open file (bad file) can someone help me?
[Also i did the fix permissions thing and it didnt work]

Try to redownload the file. it sounds like to me that particular one is corrupt. either from the download or the transfer. From the looks of it you have not done anything wrong.
 
welcome to the forums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
moved the thread over to the rooting section.

like argedion said, it sounds like a bad download. also if you plan on flashing a rom, you can do just that. all custom roms will have su cooked in.
