You will have to "downgrade" the firmware of your reader to 1.0.0.18040 (which btw is essentially the same as 1.1.01.25200.), maybe it is already done by running the PRSP+Uninstaller form the project page)

Please goto Settings - About and check the current fw-version.
If it read 1.1.01.25200, apply the PRS+Uninstaller, it will set up fw. 1.0.0.18040.

After that, you are right, copy the folder named PRSPInstaller to Drive L (the internal memory of your 505)
After disconnecting the USB-Cord the installer menu will show up.
Follow the onscreen instructions.

After downgrading to/installing 1.0.0.18040 (i had to do the same for my 1.4.something German version) the installation of PRS+ works flawlessly

BTW make sure to download the 2.1.01a installer, it is well worth the try and you will benefit from changing CSS-styles on the fly.
