Re: Missing cygwin1.dll per local install attempt
I tried all methods suggested by everyone, and nothing worked. So I cheated and updated my working version of Cygwin to the latest, then copied the dlls from c:\cygwin\bin to a USB stick, plugged the usb stick into the isolated PC, and while I got Cygwin set up and installing, copied the DLLs from the USB stick to c:\cygwin\bin on the destination system. That worked fine. I'd still like to know why the DLLs didn't install from a local install attempt of Cygwin. It simply prevented the Bash post install scripts from running. But after my manual copying, the script worked fine.

If you didn't tell it to install in some directory other than the default, then you ended up installing in the root directory for the packages. In the past, there have been problems when doing this. The solution is to copy the packages to a different directory (not under 'c:/cygwin') or install Cygwin into some other directory. Either way, you should remove your broken install and try again. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.

Is there anything else unusual about this "install"? --Jeff *The information contained in this communication may be CONFIDENTIAL and is intended only for the use of the recipient(s) named above.

Missing cygwin1.dll per local install attempt
I visited http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe and downloaded the file to a folder called c:\temp\cygwin on my WinXP system. I ran it, selected the option to download installation files only (do not actually install) and directed Cygwin to download the files to c:\temp\cygwin Selected my preferred mirror, and selected a FULL "install". After all files were downloaded, I copied the c:\temp\cygwin directory to a USB stick and put it in a system not connected to the Internet. I copied the cygwin folder from the USB stick to c:\cygwin I ran setup from c:\cygwin (i.e. the hard drive) and told it to perform a local install. At the end, while trying to run the post install scripts, it kept complaining it could not find cygwin1.dll. After acknowledging the error a few times, Cygwin presented the Congrats! window and offered to put a cygwin shortcut on the desktop and my start menu. Why could it not install the cygwin1.dll? I've used cygwin for years, and I think this is the first time I've come across this. I did perform google searching on this, but found a couple messages from 2001 and 2003 that didn't really seem to help. Thanks.
