Actually the server is running Linux.

I downloaded another version of ZIP file for 3.3.7 and decompressed  
on my machine, there are some oddly named file names in the same  
place (the ISR folder) this time with garbled names). Someone may  
want to check that there is no file corruption going on for those files.

so I thought).
