I've done some more tests and here's what I did.
I saved cygcheck from a previous failed installation which created a bin
directory with some contents but didn't complete.
I removed virtually everything from the system apart from Windows
itself, including all references to Cygwin/Cygnus in the registry,
and the attached file is the output file from
cygcheck -s -v -r > cygout.txt
I then removed Cygwin/Cygnus items from the registry because running
cygcheck appears to add some things to the registry.
I then did an install from the Internet using "Install" for all
components.
This proceeded until (as before):
93% In-use files have been replaced. You need to reboot as soon as
possible to activate the new versions.
Cygwin may operate incorrectly until you reboot.
The Progress window indicates:
_update-info-dir-00230-1
/usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-f100-6.8.1.0.README
Clicking OK then produces the folllowing window.
Can't open Package Database for writing: No such file or directory.
The procedure completes but Cygwin has not been properly installed.
Rebooting makes no difference.
I hope this helps in pinpointing the problem.
