    ERROR:
    
    The executable tar.exe doesn't exist on this system or isn't in the PATH.
    Please download the GNU tar executable from the following address:
    
        ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/pub/gnu/tar/tar-1.12.msdos.exe
    
    Save the file as ‘tar.exe’ in the C:\WINDOWS directory, or to another
    directory in the PATH, then rerun this script again.
    
    GNU Tar version 1.12 is the recommended tar for DOS to use. 
    For more information see: http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/
  2. If tar.exe is not installed, download tar-1.12.msdos.exe from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/pub/gnu/tar/tar-1.12.msdos.exe. This version of tar.exe works on 32-bit Windows only.
  3. Save the download to the C:\Windows directory and rename the file to tar.exe.
  4. Enter the following command to verify if gzip.exe is installed:

    D:\tar_teradata_client_packages

    If gzip.exe is not installed, a message similar to the following appears during the creation of the tar file:
    Notice: The executable gzip.exe is not found. Download from www.gzip.org
    for MSDOS to automatically compress the output tar file to a gzip file.
  5. If gzip.exe is not installed, download the MSDOS version of gzip.exe from gzip home page. The MSDOS version of gzip.exe works on 32-bit Windows only.
  6. Save the download to the C:\Windows directory.
