Use your
ZIP program to extract to a directory and then run setup.bat
or configure.bat.
The
ZIP file is identical to the tar file except for the
presence of three files, cygwin.dll, setup.pl, and setup.bat.
If you are planning on installing it on UNIX, it really should be untarred on a UNIX machine. Though some Windows ZIP clients will handle the file type, it is best if you just get the README file from the same place you got the distribution and read that.
On the UNIX machine, typically your company server or ISP server, you need to do:
gzip -dc minivend-X.XX.tar.gz | tar xvf -
If you have transferred the file to your Wintel machine before then transferring it to the ISP, make sure you have done all transfers in BINARY mode. You will have weird problems if you have made one or more of the transfers in ASCII mode.
