Hello-
I only develop django on osx and lunix (ubuntu), but I've looked into
options for installing it on my windows desktop- even though I've
never gotten around to it...
I've found http://www.instantdjango.com/ which has all the common
files you need to develop in one package. According to the site, you
don't even need to install anything, just extract the .exe and work
there.
7-zip documentation says that it should be able to unzip tar.gz, but
maybe you somehow got a corrupted download. Have you tried downloading
it again?

Hi,
I am trying to extract the installation files from the
Django-1.2.4.tar.gz file that I got from the django website. I tried
using winzip, 7z, cygwin and so forth. All these programs complain
that the file isnt a valid archive.
Maybe it got corrupted and another download may fix it.
Maybe Windows 7 thinks it knows better than you and is trying to protect
you from yourself by stopping you from doing what you want until you
adjust the properties of the tar.gz file to take all responsibility from
Windows so it doesn't have to worry.
Maybe you don't have Win7 installation privileges.
Once you get it opened, drill down until you see a directory containing
setup.py and drag that directory to a convenient temporary location. cd
into that temp dir and open a command prompt. At the command line do ...
python setup.py install
... which ought to put django into your site-packages directory.
You should not need cygwin unless you intend to compile python from
source. Django is python all the way down.

I used to work with django back in 2009 on Window. The installation
used to be off the extract of a zip file I remember. How do I get
going with the installation?
I appreciate any inputs on this
Thanks
