What do you mean by "bad"? That's recognisably an incomplete shapefile
of the UK, with what looks like some of the major roads. If by "bad"
you mean "distorted" that's just a projection issue in the shape file
viewer (I've used the same one on Windows, and that's what things look
like). If you mean "missing roads" then that's a different matter, but
your shapefiles are probably OK in themselves.

Running much of the toolkit on Windows might be more of a struggle
than setting up a VM to work in a Linux environment. I don't know how
much experience there is with Windows on these lists.

Talking of which, you will more likely get a better response on the
"dev@" mailing list.
