Are you using the latest setup.exe?  Your problems are due to the fact that
you're unzipping by hand.  You won't have everything you need to have setup
(pun intended :-) ) if you don't run setup.exe.  In the case of the paths 
you mention, the mount points for "/", "bin", and "lib" haven't been 
created.  Mind you, you can manually do all the things that setup would do 
for you and get a working installation but its going to be easier in the 
long run if you just blow away what you have and let setup.exe do it all 
for you.
