I think unzipping the .zip file wouldn't do anything with Windows

Try to run catalina.bat.
catalina run
This will have the DOS window staying up, so you will be able to shut
Tomcat down using ctrl-c.

Installing Tomcat would need extracting the .zip file and run one of the
startup scripts; that's it. Basically, it runs perfectly out of the box
(well, you'd need JAVA_HOME set up, I guess).
