Hi, I just downloaded the latest cygwin from planetmirror but the install fails on my Windows2000. I click on install and after going through the prompts, it dies.
Probably because I am on a locked down machine where I cannot write to the registry - in other words, I cannot be the administrator. In any event, I get this message: "Changing gid to Users" and then "Could not open Service control manager." What I have done in past is install on my home machine, tar up the cygwin directory, and then untar it onto my Windows2000 and add bin to the path - which gives me what I want. Is there another way to do this?
