Hi, I'm Neal. I've been using cygwin to program in C++ for about 4 years now and I just got my new laptop and it came with vista on it (I almost cried of pain..: ( ). Anyways, when I tried to install Cygwin on it, it downloaded a little bit and then it stopped so I was confused and exited the installation, deleted the packages and went to do it again. When I go to Setup and Install it just fills up the "Total" progress bar super fast and then stops at 99% and says "Running: No Package /etc/postintstall/emacs.sh"
So I tried to just Download without install and I got this in my setup text file: 2008/01/18 11:15:45 Starting cygwin install, version 2.573.2.2 2008/01/18 11:15:45 Current Directory: C:\Users\Owner\Desktop 2008/01/18 11:15:45 Changing gid to Users 2008/01/18 11:15:45 Could not open service McShield for query, start and stop.

Is it something with Vista that I can change some settings and it will finally download, or could it be my ISP? I have Comcast Cable, and i've used it to download cygwin before on my XP computer. -- 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/
