I downloaded tasker trial version to my phone, the instructions say to
click on the zip file with a file manager. So I open it with Astro.
And then what? I see a bunch of files, clicking on those doesn't do
anything.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but is it possible to get a more
detailed installation procedure? Or is there already one on this wiki?
I couldn't find it....

No they don't. I assume you mean the 'Via SD' instructions:
> click on the zip file with a file manager.
> Put the downloaded apk file onto the SD card, and do one of:

If you have a zip file you've gone wrong already before the 'click on
it
in a file manager' step.
Did you right-click and save-as or equivalent in whatever browser you
used to download ?

Astro will open an .apk file, you need to choose the package installer instead of Astro to open the file. It should then install.

I had the same problem as the OP but it's easily solved.
If I go to the download page (http://tasker.dinglisch.net/
download.html) in the Chrome browser on my Galaxy Nexus, and click the
download link for 1.2u2, it will download a file called Tasker.zip. If
I do the same in the stock browser, it will download Tasker.1.2u2.apk.
I presume the OP is also using a browser other than stock.
Solution is to download using the stock browser or rename Tasker.zip
to Tasker.apk but it's probably something you should be aware of
because most people wouldn't know why they are getting a .zip file or
what to do with it.
Cheers,
Daz.

Another wonderful feature of ICS. Ugh.
