Hello, I have a question i ever seen in this forum but without a correct response :
How can i uninstall completly cygwin from Windows XP Pro ??? I try uninstall it with the setup.exe but it doesn’t work : The FAQ says that : How do I uninstall all of Cygwin? Setup has no automatic uninstall facility. Just delete everything manually: • Cygwin shortcuts on the Desktop and Start Menu • The registry tree `Software\Cygnus Solutions' under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and/or HKEY_CURRENT_USER. • Anything under the Cygwin root folder, `C:\cygwin' by default. • Anything created by setup in its temporary working directory. It's up to you to deal with other changes you made to your system, such as installing the inetd service, altering system paths, etc. Setup would not have done any of these things for you. So, i stopped and removed the SSHD and INETD services and tried to delete everything manually: But i got “Acces refused” error on cygwin System files like : sshd_config, ssh_config, ssh_host_dsa_key, inetd.log... One day i tried to delete the cygwin directory and i didn’t have any problem but now on every cygwin install i get this problem and it make me nuts. I also tried to start windows in sage mode and delete it but it didn’t work. Why the cygwin developpers didn't make un uninstaller, is it so difficult for them ?!!! Another BIG question why the Cygwin installer developpers made a so small windows to check packages to install with Cygwin ? instead this windows isn't resizable ?!!
