Thank you for reporting, this should be fixed in 0.13.1.

I'm using this workaround for now (on windows 7)
1. find and try to install your required mod from the mod portal
2. when it crashes to desktop go into %appdata%/Factorio/temp
3. move the zip file for your mod to %appdata%/Factorio/mods
4. UNPACK the zip file into a folder of THE SAME NAME still inside %appdata%/Factorio/mods. i.e. TimeTools_1.0.13.zip -> TimeTools_1.0.13
5. delete the zip file
6. start Factorio and find your mod installed
7. repeat for all the mods you want.

Notes:
Step 4 is IMPORTANT. Factorio will just delete the zip file if you don't unpack it.
make sure when you unpack it that you don't have a single folder inside of the folder

Also, when the patch for this comes out I recommend you delete all the folders and install properly through Factorio.

Cheers

You can just download the zip file directly from the source at https://mods.factorio.com/

You do not need to unzip mods. It's actually preferred to keep them zipped.

Same problem. Bumping in hopes that this gets patched next build. (I'm running beta 0.13.0)
