Download GZIP and TAR utilities from here . These files require CYGWIN to work under windows. Download it here.

The tar.gz extension means that the file is a TAR archive that has also been gzipped.

So to extract it you first need to unzip it with gzip
gzip -d [filename.tar.gz]
and then untar it with
txr -xf [filename.tar]

Hope this helps

I don't know if it's still relevant for you. There are plenty opensource libraries to read/write zip / tar archives from C#. You can use something like this one library:
