I originally thought this problem was due to installing as non-admin, but further investigation has led me to conclude the problem is due to installing to a Mapped Network Drive (or even a drive other than C:).
I am trying to install cygwin on a non-networked computer as a non-admin user. But for now I am installing it on a computer running XP, with a network connection and as an admin user. To mimic the remote case, I set up a Mapped Network Drive, for which I have full access privileges. I need the texlive-collection-latex package, so have installed that. The installation fails with Package: fontconfig fontconfig.sh exit code 13 Package: texlive-collection-basic texlive-collection-basic.sh exit code 11 and running latex at a terminal window gives -bash: /usr/bin/latex: cannot execute binary file $ chmod +x /usr/bin/latex $ ls -l /usr/bin/latex -rw-r--r-- 1 curtis None 21 Jan 25 20:04 /usr/bin/latex I can't change the permissions.
