VirtueMart is a big component, its installer file archive has a size of more than 1.5
MB. When uploading this file to your server you can wait a long time until the file is
completely transferred to your server. You can use the Remote Installer for VirtueMart
instead! (Remote Installer for VirtueMart) [http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/virtuemart/frs/

What are those
tar.gz
files, aren't those for Unix/Linux systems only?
tar.gz Archives come from the Unix World, but they can be used on Windows and Mac systems
as well. On Windows you can unpack them using Winzip or Winrar. Gzip has a much much
better compression than Zip, that's one reason why most Open Source projects use it for their
distributions.

After the installation I try to access VirtueMart, but it just prints out an error like "store is not
a valid VirtueMart module...". What's wrong?

The installation is corrupt. The registered functions and core modules, which are used by
VirtueMart to check the acccess permissions are missing. You need to make sure that the tables
"jos_vm_functions" and "jos_vm_modules" have been created in your database and contain
records. If they are missing, you can add those tables manually by using the SQL installer
file

After having installed the component, I add a Main Menu Link to the VirtueMart component.
But clicking on that link only displays the text "Welcome to Washupito's....." What's wrong?

VirtueMart is no component-only script. It's programmed to be used together with the
corresponding VirtueMart Main Module. VirtueMart will not operate properly without the
