Installation failure on no plugin-description.properties

[pscheidlerSr]

On installation from a file I received the message below. Looking at the zip, the properties file was indeed absent. On the other hand, there might be something I don't understand going on since my experience with ES is limited.

c:\LoS\elasticsearch-2.2.0\bin>plugin install file:/C:/LoS/downloads/elastic-hammer-master.zip -> Installing from file:/C:/LoS/downloads/elastic-hammer-master.zip...

Is there a resolution for this, I'm seeing the same error.
