Yeah the 7z thing is a pain. Unlike your experience, when I used 
Gnuwin32's bzip2 it also produced archives which can't be understood by 
setup.exe. Ditto for cygwin. I have to use the tar and bzip2 on 
osgeo4w's server.  I created ticket for this issue, 101, and added 
warning  note to wiki Packaging Instructions.
