[gambit-list] calling scheme from C

I attempted to install gambit and run this trivial script
on a windows xp SP3 system.

@;gsi-script %~f0 %*
(display "Hello world")

It failed. Blurted out a large quantity of
of unintelligible characters to the command window.

When I inspected the directory
C:\Program Files\Gambit-C\v4.4.4\bin
I found the file gsi-script.bat
to be 3.2 meg of illegible data.
Since the size of several other .bat files were
the same, I checked their md5sums, this is what
I got... all the same value.

bb28d7131a5d49064c34ef045b9bc003 *gsi-script.bat
bb28d7131a5d49064c34ef045b9bc003 *scheme-ieee-1178-1990.bat
bb28d7131a5d49064c34ef045b9bc003 *scheme-r4rs.bat
bb28d7131a5d49064c34ef045b9bc003 *scheme-r5rs.bat
bb28d7131a5d49064c34ef045b9bc003 *scheme-srfi-0.bat
bb28d7131a5d49064c34ef045b9bc003 *six-script.bat

I uninstalled, re-downloaded, re-installed.
The problem persisted.

This is it the install package:

"gambc-v4_4_4-windows-mingw.exe"

My conclusion is that the setup program is somehow corrupt.
Can someone corroborate or refute this for me please.

If it is corroborated, can someone please re-create a 
correct version of the setup program, so that I can
install it properly.

TIA

BTW here is the md5sum output for the one I downloaded:
5e4ed22287220e7c43f2d445198c396c 
*gambc-v4_4_4-windows-mingw.exe
