Evidently, you don't have gunzip, at least not on PATH. Or maybe it's
MSYS revenge day: perhaps you do have gunzip, but it's a shell script
or some such. Anyway, copying gzip.exe into gunzip.exe should be all
you need.

Visiting compressed files uses "gzip -d", so it doesn't need gunzip.
See lisp/jka-cmpr-hook.el.

Another evidence to the same effect.

I submit that your system is misconfigured, but of course I won't
object if someone makes a defcustom out of
dired-compress-file-suffixes.
