Wrapper.exe is a executable file within Windows, although the file is not needed for Windows to operate properly. Typically there is no description of the file and is not visible while running.

Sure. There are many tools that can open up (uncompress) a gz file in Windows. For example, Total Commander (http://www.ghisler.com) is a nice shareware file manager for Windows that includes this ability.
This will differ depending on your operating system and the software used, so I will stick to recent versions of Windows. Microsoft Windows does not put a precise limit on the file name so much as the pathname. Windows XP can have a path name up to 256 characters long, and Windows Vista (and, I believe, Windows 7) can have to up 260. But be careful when moving files around, because if you move it or cut/paste to a pathname that is longer than the previous one, it could cause the pathname to exceed the maximum. Additionally, Excel will have a problem with pathnames longer than 217 characters and will generate an error message; Word has problems with pathnames longer than 247 characters, but PowerPoint is fine up to 259 characters. Unlike some earlier versions of Windows, all of the characters (up to the stated limits) in the filename of current Windows versions are "valid", in the sense that if you change any of them it will result in a name that is considered distinct from others to the Windows operating system.
All versions of Windows would be used in Canada, like in any country. Many people would be using Windows 8. Many would still be using Windows 7, many using Vista, many using XP and so on.
