I actually had a problem unzipping this package on Windows. I tried unzipping in my Downloads folder and it gave me a "Path Too Long" error. Both the built-in Windows extractor and WinZip failed to un-package it. Turns out that once a path goes above a certain number of characters the extraction fails, you can see more in this youtube video [1].
I moved the zip to my root directory I was able to unpackage the zip file.
