Hi Vin, is minitar.exe part of your install kit?

If so, then
package-admin-install-function-mswindows
may not invoke it right:

(defun package-admin-install-function-mswindows (file pkg-dir buffer)
  "Install function for mswindows."
  (let ((default-directory (file-name-as-directory pkg-dir)))
    (unless (file-directory-p default-directory)
      (make-directory default-directory t))
    (call-process "minitar" nil buffer t file)))

Wouldn't that mean "minitar" would have to be on the PATH?

Hmmh, but I use package-admin-install-function-mswindows too[1], and it
works for me.
