I have just received an Alienware laptop with Windows7. I downloaded and ran the current setup from website. The install process will stop at various stages, not always the same place. By stop, I mean it looks as if it is working, but it never proceeds past that point. I believe it does all the install stages, but will stop at different places after the install.
A few times the install completed. When testing those times, I would run bash from Windows command line (just as the .bat file does). Once I got some memory error I can't recall. The rest of the times I get the Cygwin console opening, but goes away imediately without every displaying a prompt. All through this, not one error message. My search on this issue showed a few people with simular problem. One had same issue with command line window opening and closing but was using 1.5 and their problem went away when they used 1.7. I suspect the problem is the install (even though it completed install a few times). I ran msconfig and removed all none Microsoft processes but still could not get the install to complete. Thank you for any suggestions.
