I ran into the same problem with not being able to hit the Next button. The solution I found was to delete the c:\cygwin directory that the installation creates and run setup again. I was installing to d:\cygwin but it still created a directory on the C drive, perhaps to keep some setup logs or temp files? I haven't installed cygwin for a while, so I was playing around with some of the options and I'm pretty sure that I stopped an install before it completed. Maybe an interrupted install leaves something on the hard drive that keeps a subsequent install from completing? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
