Did you ever get this resolved?
My experience with the TS3 beta so far has been that the archive contains precompiled binaries. I just extracted them, used the provided start script, and then the server was up and running. Nothing to install or mess with.
Are you getting any errors or having any problems? If so, paste the error here and maybe we can help.
