1.5.25-11 Bash? Problem installing unattended on Server 2008

I'm sorry, but I don't seem to be able to correctly update
"\release\base-files\base-files-3.7-1.tar.bz2" with the new "profile":
"setup.exe" won't extract the package I create and I end up with a bash not
even knowing ls or cp. I tried using 7-Zip and editing with Notepad++ on
Windows as well as "tar xjvf base-files-3.7-1.tar.bz2", "vi
etc/defaults/etc/profile" and "tar cjvf base-files-3.7-1.tar.bz2 etc usr".
Do I have to set a certain signature or something?

Right, so, can you arrange for there to be a "set -x" at the top of
/etc/profile when the installer runs it to help figure out why it
fails?  You could temporarily edit the base-files package to achieve
this.
