You're right.  The .tgz also won't open with unzip.exe on Windows
either.

The .zip works absolutely fine, and the .tgz unzipped nicely on a Linux 
box just now, so I guess this may be a subtle incompatibility between 
our tar or gz code and Windows untarring code.

Our build guru is on holiday and back on Monday, but I've put this in 
the issue tracker for him as a "medium priority" when he's back.

In the meantime the .zip file works fine, I hope this helps you
for now.
