Yes. I can point you to the email archives with the many, many discussions
about how anything other than the use of "setup.exe" is not a supported
installation method. Just use setup and you won't have any problems
installing any packages, whether bzipped or gzipped. If you insist on
using something other than "setup.exe" to do the install, then the problems
you find are your own. This list can't take the time to debug your
custom installation. Sorry.
