I'm thinking download errors.  At one point I ran the setup with the
Bash window open and got an error message.

Yes, you are right!  Both the file sizes and checksums of those two .gz
files were different from what you listed (gzip.exe was OK).

Do you know if there any relatively easy way to tell what's been
corrupted and redownload those parts, or do I need to uninstall and
reinstall everything to "get it clean"?
