It could be related to the newly introduced versioned archive files and
the symlinks that map filenames with revision numbers to filenames that
do not change.
I think the installer relies on those symlinks and maybe these symlinks
don't work in Windows.
But I'm not an expert here. It could just as well be something
completely different.
