I realize this is an old post, but for anyone reading this now, get ModMii and use that for Wii soft modding. It's basically a wizard that asks you everything it needs to know about your Wii and what you want to get out of it. It downloads all your files for you, copies them to your memory card and displays a personalized guide for you to follow. Anyone can go from a regular Wii to homebrew within an hour, it's simple and everything will be installed the way it's supposed to be.
