Well, goods-2.72.tar.gz isn't meant to be loaded in Squeak - it's a 
tarball of C++ source.  Someone did post prebuilt windows binaries, 
check the squeak-dev list archives.  Otherwise, it builds pretty easily 
with mingw32.

It's odd to me that the GOODS file is ".mcz.zip" - it should just be 
.mcz.  What happens if you install it straight from SqueakMap?

Once you have things installed, make sure you have the latest windows 
VM - I think 3.6.2.  There's a bug in older versions that GOODS 
triggers.
