It has 4g RAM. Checking "Resource Monitor" while the install is running, there is 750MB "available". I tried searching for "texlive" and setting all of those to "uninstall". The "postintall" step spends quite a while on "0p_000_autorebase.dash", but I noticed that before. However, after that finishes, it then sits on "0p_texlive_prep.dash". While it's sitting here, I dumped out "/var/log/setup.log.full". Here is the end of the file: ---------------- The following DLLs couldn't be rebased because they were in use: /usr/bin/cygssp-0.dll /usr/bin/cygperl5_22.dll /usr/bin/cyggcc_s-1.dll /usr/bin/cygcrypt-0.dll /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/auto/List/Util/Util. dll /usr/lib/perl5/5.22/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/auto/IO/IO.dll /usr/lib/perl5/5.22/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/auto/File/Glob/Glob.dll /usr/lib/perl5/5.22/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.dll /usr/lib/perl5/5.22/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/auto/Encode/Encode.dll /usr/lib/perl5/5.22/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/auto/Digest/MD5/MD5.dll /usr/lib/perl5/5.22/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/auto/Cwd/Cwd.dll 2016/01/21 09:15:40 running: C:\cygwin\bin\dash.exe "/etc/postinstall/0p_texlive _prep.dash" 2016/01/21 09:19:20 note: Nothing needed to be installed 2016/01/21 09:19:20 Ending cygwin install ----------- Note that the current time is currently 9:37AM. The log file hasn't updated in almost 20 minutes. I would run the script manually, but I don't know what to run. I tried to exclude c:\cygwin from the virus scanner, but it seems doubtful that the installer would go through all the other steps if this was really an issue.
