Sorry, I'm not that good at interpreting setup log files. Perhaps others can help. I'm assuming c:\foo exists locally. I'm a bit concerned by messages like "compress_bz::error called" but that might be fine. Better info would be the output of cygcheck -s -r -v. That I can read *and* interpret. Did my suggestion regarding editting cygwin.bat help?
