Hi,
I am again having problems to install cygwin on a network drive.
It's in the same network I had similar problems before:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2009-11/msg00034.html
which were then resolved after a while.
The client machines are now new, running Windows 7. Domain server
is the old one.
My description log of actions and popup errors is attached below.
There was no way to install on the network. I could install to the
C: drive and move that over to the network where it would then run.
Happy new year, y'all!
You shouldn't try to install Cygwin on a network share and execute
it locally. That's like installing and running Linux on a Samba share.
If you want to use a single Cygwin distro on all computers in your
network, you should install it on the target host, including the
openssh daemon. Then on the client machines, you use Putty to log on
to the host.
I need Cygwin on the network clients, not on a server (and this has
been working for years, just with occasional install problems).
Also (if I understand your first sentence correctly), I did not try
to install centrally for client use, but to install on a client for
that client's use, just on a network drive. And in fact that's the
only option on that system which is a lab network and the local (C:)
drives are cleared after each reboot.

So you're kind of hacking into your lab computers, right? :-) I
noticed something in your original output:
---------------------------
Fehler
---------------------------
Directory H:\tmp does not exist, would you like me to create it?
---------------------------
Ja Nein
---------------------------
And:
---------------------------
Cygwin Setup
---------------------------
Cannot open log file L:\TGI\cygwin/var/log/setup.log for writing
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
That's strange. Setup tries to install on different disks. Does the
network share change each time you log on?
No. Install target is in L:\TGI while H:\tmp is the temp directory for
downloaded packages.
I hope they don't interfere. I can try to put both on the same drive but
I would be surprised if that makes a difference.
