One of the postinstall processes is DLL rebasing, which is crucial for working Cygwin installation. > e.g., having to run setup-x86_64.exe first on the new computer? I strongly suggest installing anew, as other prople suggested. You can take a shortcut by pulling the installed.db out of old setup, but take care. And yes, backing up your existing installation is still a good idea. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Sunday, November 25, 2018 21:46:59 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
