Not sure exactly what you problem is. I have Cygwin on XP and this works for me.
1. Grap the latest setup.exe and setup.ini and put it in a download directory (for me ...My Documents\Kits\Cygwin) 2. Choose the option to download to a local directory (the same as above) 3. Download the files as appropriate Cygwin installer will then exit 4. Rerun the cygwin setup.exe 5. Choose to install from a local directory (as above). (Make sure it has the correct "root" directory for destination (for me C:\cygwin) 6. Choose to install (or not) the various packages By changing the view in the setup window you should be able to easily see (in a single list) which packages it is choosing to download/install. It may be for you these aren't checked as required.

Upon running the installer it finds the temp download directory and seems to pass all checksums and then says install is complete and my cygwin directory seems to have the full directory tree under it, but the directories are all empty, except for /etc/setup which has a timestamp file and /var/log which contains 2 log files (see attached). Does anyone have a clue as to what could be happening here? I have manually selected all required files for installation in the installer but it makes no difference, it still wont install them. cheers, Brad -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
