The problem is, I can't reproduce it. I created two test packages, one with a file "./file" in it, the other with a file "tmp/./file". In both cases, setup.exe failed to create the file and showed a message "unable to extract ...". This was on Windows 7. What Windows are you using? Maybe an older version allows it. Unless I can create the "." directory myself, I can't fix it.
