I'm sure that you are correc= t about this, but the machine that I just installed Cygwin on had no previo= us installation of it.

Wish me luck... There is not really a "problem" with the setup scripts, so much as there=20 is a problem with installing Cygwin/X to a drive other than your C=20 drive, removing that drive from the computer without uninstalling=20 Cygwin/X, then trying to install Cygwin/X to your C drive. In that case=20 a mount is left in your registry that points to your D drive, setup.exe=20 tries to unpack the files on the D drive, but fails because it cannot=20 find that drive anymore. We would need a "preinstall" script that iced=20 the mounts, then recreated them... but setup.exe does not support such a=20 script (I don't believe it does). Keep in mind that this is just and=20 example; there are a plethora of reasons that you might end up in a=20 similar situation. Yes, there is more info about Services for UNIX: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#microsoft-services= -for-unix Have fun with Cygwin/X, Harold
