Are you using the latest setup.exe? Your problems are due to the fact that
you're unzipping by hand. You won't have everything you need to have setup
(pun intended :-) ) if you don't run setup.exe. In the case of the paths
you mention, the mount points for "/", "bin", and "lib" haven't been
created. Mind you, you can manually do all the things that setup would do
for you and get a working installation but its going to be easier in the
long run if you just blow away what you have and let setup.exe do it all
for you.
