Re: setup.exe keeps hanging
The problem was that I get pointer problems with the new utilities. I will try to upgrade cygwin1.dll too.

Re: setup.exe keeps hanging
I still have the following problems : - The installation of cygwin1.dll keeps hanging at 78 % -- Probably because the installation is not complete, i cannot get access to my D: drive (which is just a second drive), but I can get access to my C: drive and to my network drives.

In tech support, you don't "assume" anything. You ask for specifics. The "latest version" is a meaningless term. That is why I asked for the version number. -- 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/

It might be the same problem, or it might not. Start a bash shell. Unless your install is really badly damaged, this should still work. cd into /etc/postinstall. Is there a file there called "d.sh"? If so, that's going to have been causing setup to crash when it tries to handle it. Execute it directly (enter "./d.sh"), then rename it with "mv d.sh d.sh.done". After that setup should be able to complete. In fact, if even your bash shell won't work, use a dos prompt to rename it, then you can run it manually after your setup has completed by using ". /etc/postinstall/d.sh.done" cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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/

I also noticed on the last update I did that some/all of the packages for ?LaTex? were updated -- and that the post-install script (post-texmf.sh) took a VERY long time to complete --- i.e. system looked like it was hung, but was actually ?building? a lot of postinstall stuff.

Re: setup.exe keeps hanging
I confirm that post-texmf.sh took order 5 minutes on my 1.2GHz machine -- I used Task Manager to reassure myself that something was actually happening.
