Install: Verify Windows extraction procedure in installation docs #397

Description

@coderabbitai

Context

In PR #395, a documentation update was made to convert installation guides to MyST format. During review, it was identified that the Windows installation guide uses the unzip command, which is not available on stock Windows installations.

Proposed Fix

The suggestion is to replace unzip -o crate-*.zip with PowerShell-native commands:

  • Primary: Expand-Archive -Path .\crate-*.zip -DestinationPath .
  • Alternative: tar -xf crate-*.zip (available since Windows 10 1803)

The fix has been addressed in commit d7ed7f3.

Action Required

@michaelkremmel - Could you please verify that the updated Windows extraction procedure works correctly on a Windows system? Specifically:

  1. Test the Expand-Archive command with the CrateDB release archive
  2. Optionally test the tar -xf alternative
  3. Confirm the instructions are clear and accurate
