Unzip vs Untar

    I unzipped the tar file (instead of untarring) which put all files in one directory-flat structure. Now I suspect that that might be the cause of the problem as it seems that there are various subdirectory structures where the files out to reside- can anyone pls confirm? I also searched online for an untar utility but all were for Mac OS. Anyone knows where i can get one for Windows XP? Thanks

    Winzip has a feature to maintain absolute path directory- make sure that when unzipping you get the subdirectories and not all files in a flat structure. I inadvertently did that and files were not being found during installation.
