Hi Martin,

I think the origin of all your problems is due to projects renaming.
I cannot imagine that your Windows system doesn't accept three-letter 
application or file names.
Perhaps files were renamed because there were some already existing files with 
the same name and the system added a '1' to new generated names.
Could you try to start with a clean up space and re-extract sources.
When that is done, check if files are now correctly named.
