For me the installer worked just fine. I was able to install OpenACS (automatic) then log in to the service. From there I tried to install forums and got the following error:

It appears the apm_gunzip_cmd is not returning the correct path to gzunzip. I am guessing it should be included in the cygwin install.
apm_gunzip_cmd just returns the string "gunzip" so the C:\OpenACS\Cygwin\bin directory must be setup in the path when AOLserver is run.
I host this information is useful. Let me know if you need any additional information.
