Yes. This was happening intermittently while I was updating our little setup.ini, and would go away with random changes to the file, or even if I just saved it again. Or something. I couldn't figure out what was going on. I thought the problem had gone away, but now that it's gone live, I've been getting a few reports that it's failing for some people. Intermittently. (Uninitialised variable in the parser maybe?) The setup.ini in question is at http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install/setup.ini in case any experts can see what dumb mistake I've made. I've only got HEAD setup.exe sources, I haven't yet pulled down the current branch ones to try to figure out what the error messages are trying to tell me. I guess I should. Incidentally, contrary to the example at the end of http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/setup.html, my trial and error found that the quotation marks in sdesc were not optional. If so, maybe the example needs updating. John
