Good.  But you shouldn't need to do this unless the w32api package you 
downloaded is not current.  If it contains './' at the start of the paths in 
the tar file, then it's not current.  You would need to either do what you did 
or  delete and redownload a new w32api package, perhaps from a different 
mirror.  However, the current problem with setup that caused this issue has
been worked-around by repackaging w32api with the './' parts removed so
you shouldn't see this problem with any current download of w32api.

Although I found references to the same problem, I was not able to resolve it by follow the same course of action as the other users. So far I have:
