When I was running the installer (2.416) unders Windows XP Professional, I pointed it to an invalid install directory and it crashed. This is conistant.
I was able to install though once I pointed it to the correct directory. My download directory was created by version 2.415. Inside of my download directory is an directory titled "ftp3%a%2f%2fftp.plig.net%2pub%2fcygwin". In there was a setup.ini and .setup.ini.swp files and a release directory containing my installs. Before, when I tried to rename the directory, it gets renamed to the above mess. I cannot seem to work around it. I think you need this setup.ini. That is my guess. I never did an install without it. - Joaquin > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Wilson > Sent: Friday, December 12, 2003 6:42 AM > To: Cygwin List > Subject: Re: setup crashes on certain packages. > > > I am using setup version 2.416.
