People who use Linux will run into a problem of the run.sh being NOT executable (at least for the all-in-one zip). This is due to wrong EOF symbol used in them. fixing them manually (delete the ^M symbol at every end-of-line) should work. If you try to be smart and use "unzip -a" to let it does the ASCII conversion for you, sorry it won't work! This is because the original zip file wasn't packed with proper ASCII flags for ASCII file.

But it'll be most beneficial if somebody can fix the Shell scripts in the original zip.

Also I noted that in dillo/run.sh, it says "./xset +fp $scriptdir/fonts/TTF", but the directory fonts/ttf actually appears to be all in lowercase. So this line never works. There could be similiar issues elsewhere.
