Answer 1

you need to do two things
1)open vqmod/install/index.php
find the following code
$admin = 'admin';
change its value to your admin folder name that you have changed to
$admin = 'youradminfoldername';
2)open vqmod/pathReplaces.php
find the following code (if there is no,add it)
$replaces[] = array('~^admin\b~', 'xxxxx');
change xxxxx to your current admin folder name.
after you have these two things,even if it still show such infomation,
you should be ok to install extension.
I have tested this method ,it works for me.
another solution I guess maybe is to delete vqmod folder and reupload vqmod-opencart-2.6.1，and then only need to modify vqmod/pathReplaces.php,it should works

Answer 2

It probably means that you've deleted the file. You might have to reinstall the Opencart or upload the file from default opencart source files.
Open cPanel File Manager Set permission to 777 for the file
