Bug Description
It's more idiomatic to use ZIP files for Windows distributions. WinZip does OK with the current .tar.bz2 but has some problems. From Bernard:
"""Large chunks of the archive do not unpack with WinZip 12.1. The latest (16.0) does a better job, but some files get extracted with zero length for some reason. I going to assume that that one is a WinZip bug, possibly related to limited RAM on the VM, but there are still some difficulties that will apply whatever tool is used for extraction"""
