Should still open an issue. We have to add a file to tmp to force
the directory to be created. The tmp/README.txt explains that some
versions of WinZip decide to not create empty directories... maybe
there is a configuration option in WinZip to do that... or maybe some
versions are just more full of themselves.
Either way... as much as I don't like to have them, I think its
better to add a README.txt to the directories we expect to exist and
explain why the files are there... and also what types of files
should be in that dir etc.

Michael,
Before you open a JIRA can you please double check this? I just
downloaded both of those files and extracted them using winzip.
The empty directories were created. I've also noticed that when I
copy an image I need to be careful to ensure the empty directories
are included in the copy. For example, xcopy * /s won't include
the empty directories so you must use the /e option. I'm not sure
if that's what happened on your system but it's happened to me before.

Zip can sometimes (annoyingly omit empty directories)... we will
have to put in placeholders to prevent this lame behavior.
Anyways, its an easy fix we can get in for 1.1.1

I created empty directories for "var\shared\classes" and "var

and access the console and poke around.
I didn't run any other tests like deploying apps, etc.
I didn't see this in the install notes. Is there a problem with
the distribution bundles or did I install incorrectly?
