As I suggested before, I don't really think this is a Mac problem. I
think you should be looking for solutions that involve creating
Windows capabilities to handle the deficient compressed file format

facilities would be available. Have you gone through the process of
installing Murdoch's Rtools suite on your virtualized Windows?
