Tried it and the following errors came up: vv setup-2.529.exe - Application Error The instruction at "0x78010adf" referenced memory at "0x". The memory could not be "read". I then hit "cancel" to debug... ^^ vv Just-In_Time Debugging An exception 'Unhandled Win32 Exception' has occurred in setup-2.529.exe However, no debuggers are registered that can debug this exception. ^^ --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: installer: select packages: text background color
Greetings: A display bug was introduced about a year ago in the "Select Packages" screen of Cygwin's installer. The text's background color is manually set to white but the text's color relies upon the system's settings for "Window Text." No one has noticed this change because most users have their "Window" background color set to white and their "Window Text" color set to black. But, for people who have other preferences for their Windows Display options, like myself, this can cause problems. For example, here's what I see when I run the installer: http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/cygwin/cygwin.setup.png Kind of hard to read the list of programs, eh? :) To demonstrate that the "Window Text" is the color being used, I changed that setting to red in Control Panel | Display | Appearance: http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/cygwin/cygwin.setup.red.png Also note, that the "Window Text" color is being used for the text around the program listing, such as "Select packages to install" and "Hide obsolete and administrative packages" when it would be programatically more correct to use the "Message Box"/"Message Text" color.
