As @PatJ commented, a ZIP file just contains files. Those files are extracted and placed in the proper folder, overwriting any existing files of the same name. When a plugin is updated, the process gets the ZIP file from the WordPress repository, and installs it into a temporary folder. The update process then, after all … Read more
Do not, under any circumstances, edit core WordPress files. The bug is not in WordPress. If it were the proper way to handle such a bug is not to edit WordPress.
