I had the same error when I tried installing that the file was not a zip file. When I did my windows installation originally I foolishly gave my username a weird character with umlauts ö, and Windows doesn't like that . It automatically saves files to c:\users\myusernäme but won't let me unzip zip files from there, so I had to explore to the C drive, and copy the zip file there, then follow the installation instructions and it worked like a champ.

I hope this helps.
