All the tools are installed correctly according to my knowledge.

So you know that Perl and unzip are installed? If not, install them; they come from Cygwin. See section 2.2.5 "Install Cygwin" in the Wireshark Developer's Guide; it says that unzip is in Archive/unzip and Perl is in Interpreters/perl in the Cygwin installer.
