>Can anybody diagnose this problem? Thanks in advance /r?
I have continuous problems installing. Setup ungracefully crashes when
either an install is attempted on a file not downloaded or if the setup.ini
has an unresolvable reference. Hence I have a strategy to installing. If
all else fails:
1. Go to the registry and delete all entries to 'cygwin' and 'cygnus' and
'red hat' if appropriate.
2. I always save the old cygwin (C:/cygwin -> C:/cygwin.old), and
3. Create a new cygwin root (C:/cygwin), and then
4. Do a reinstall.
Occassionally setup will corrupt the installation so that it is
unrecoverable - which seems to be what you are experiencing. Repeat above.
I've tried to identify and fix setup errors but can't seem to get it
compiled and linked. So I gave up. But there does appear to be some
ungraceful coding in setup - and lest I get flamed - Cygwin and the Cygwin
staff to a person seem excellent.
