I can point you to the email archives with the many, many discussions about how anything other than the use of "setup.exe" is not a supported installation method. Just use setup and you won't have any problems installing any packages, whether bzipped or gzipped. If you insist on using something other than "setup.exe" to do the install, then the problems you find are your own. This list can't take the time to debug your custom installation. Sorry.
