Hi all, first time posting. I first installed Cygwin a few months ago on my XP SP3 machine, don't know much about Linux but wanted to use ddrescue to image some disks and I found it to work great! Thanks for this great solution!
The other day I wanted to add the lsblk command, which I tried by running setup-x86.exe again and searching for a lsblk package to add, but after installing packages it broke Cygwin completely. Now I get the following error when trying to run it: "mintty.exe - Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point CancelSynchronousIo could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll" Is there a way to get v2.874 of setup-x86.exe to only download the older, XP-compatible packages? Because right now aside from the fact the first few steps of the installer actually run, 2.874 doesn't really work on XP either. As a warning to anyone else running Cygwin on XP - I'm guessing my big mistake was not noticing and leaving the default option of "Curr" checked, which means update all parts of Cygwin to the latest version? I should have selected "Keep", so that only the new lsblk package I wanted would be downloaded?
