I'm upgrading to 1.7.1 from the previous version which I was pretty good

I ran into a problem installing openssh which locked the install forcing
me to cancel. I stopped the openssh service and cygwin service and tried
again. It completed with me ok'ing past pointer errors on certain
packages from the previous install attempt. I restarted and now get the
message:
"The procedure entry point __ctype_ptr__ could not be located in the
dynamic link library cygwin1.dll."
I'm running XP service pack 2. I haven't rebooted the box yet so maybe
that has something to do with it? The thought was that reboot in Cygwin
terms was restarting Cygwin. I'll try the box now and report back
tomorrow.
Not when you're dealing with an in-use version of cygwin1.dll during
an installation
it's not. Clearly what you're running into is postinstall scripts that
are running with
updated tools accessing the older version of cygwin1.dll you have. The
solution?
Reboot and run 'setup.exe' again. The postinstall scripts that didn't
already run
will be run in the process. You don't need to reinstall any packages
unless
you ignored any of the error messages you got and allowed the
postinstall scripts
to continue running.
Speaking of reinstall, if I did ignore those pesky error messages, is
there a way to mark all my existing packages for update so I can rereun
the setup again? Kind of like an upgrade do over?
Rerun 'setup.exe' and click the symbol next to "All" until "Reinstall" shows up.
Continue with 'setup.exe' as usual. This will reinstall all the packages
you have
installed.
