The safest way to extract archives on Cygwin is to use the tools unzip.exe for .zip files and either gunzip.exe or bunzip2.exe together with tar.exe for .tar.gz, and .tar.bz2 files, respectively. These programs are part of the standard Cygwin installation. Some archives may contain empty, but necessary directories or symlinks that a native Win32 packer cannot handle.
