I'm trying to get drush running on my windows machine. I mainly followed this guide here.

I am using Windows 8.1, 64 bit, and Drush v 7.0 dev

When I type drush status I get the right results. But when I try to use drush dl drupal I get these error messages:

Unable to untar C:\Users\myName\AppData\Local\Temp\drush_tmp_1413483869_54400d5d5328e\dru564.tmp.              [error]

C:\Users\myName\AppData\Local\Temp/drush_tmp_1413483869_54400d5d5328e/drupal-7.32.

I have installed gzip like it's described in the guide and I have renamed C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\bsdtar.exe to C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\tar.exe.

Is there really no easy way to install Drush on Windows?

Your Drush is setup and works fine, but you miss some Unix libraries. Probably ncurses, bsdtar, bzr.

I don't use the GnuWin32, instead I use Cygwin and PATH the cygwin/bin.
