Guys : Sorry, I've completely lost track of what is supposed to be the
current status of the setup executable. There are still occasional messages
to this list reporting glitches of one sort or another, almost all to do
with msgbox announcements about "incomplete" downloads or installations, or
failure to open "[null]" for reading; some problems with path/filenames
particularly with expect.*.src; recurrent reminders that setup.*.src files
are available for download; ... and so on. Some users report "Thanks,
everything now fine" after being referred to the latest setup snapshot.

Also differing problems with download-then-installation from the web;
installation from a local directory; installation from a home-made CD.
Reports of freezing.

Last night I ran a brand new and current installation from a local
directory, using the snapshot setup-2.249.2.1.exe in W98/SE, and experienced
all the problems described in para 1, though the installation proceeds
[seems to proceed] perfectly well if one simply presses the appropriate
"ignore and carry on" button. And despite the failure message at the end,
the entire installation completes [seems to complete] properly. Do you want
me to tell you about these installation problems?! or is everything related
to setup.*.exe now just a Me Too or a Me Again, and we're just waiting for
the poor guys who actually know what's needed [unlike me] to get around to
it? That's fine: this isn't a nag. I just want to know what to do with these
continuing And Guess What Happened To Me Then! reports ...

Thanks.

Fergus

2nd email of 3. The 3rd of 3 will be a report on a brand-new installation in
W98/SE.

Just now I took a look at the Cygwin site and there _was_ an update
available. Everything proceeded exactly as described yesterday (1st email of
3, when there turned out to be nothing available). By this I mean the
procedure included (i) recurrent unnecessary offer of setup-2.218.2.9.src
files, (ii) appearance of msgbox containing "Download incomplete. Try again?
Yes / No" and (iii) appearance of msgbox containing "Cant open (null) for
reading. No such file. OK". As reported before though, the upgrade appears
actually to have run successfully, with progress bars whizzing along, etc,
and the new stuff is indeed all there and where I would expect it to be.

There was an additional phenomenon this time. The closing message was not
"Nothing needed to be installed" but instead it was "Installation
incomplete. Check /setup.log.full for details."

Here are setup.log(.full).

(Actually setup.log is an appended file, not a new file: here are the
relevant closing lines.)

Email 3 of 3. Brand new download and installation using 2.249.2.1 after
clearing everything including registry entries.

Download and Install from Internet
c:\Cygwin + All + Unix

Infelicity 1. The default offering for the name of the installation
directory is "C:\cygwin". As we are occasionally reminded, the name of the
software is Cygwin, not CygWin or cygwin or .... I guess in this context the
lc/uc distinction is not critical, but could the default name be altered in
setup.exe?

c:\WINDOWS\Desktop
Direct
Choose ftp://mirrors.rcn.net
Click whirly near All-Default so that it reads All-Install
Click View

Painfully click all the Src? installation boxes including that for setup
(but leaving all of compface, keychain, regex as "n/a" to match Bin?)

Click Next

Everything whizzes away just fine, but surprisingly ...

Error 1: ... the download stage closes with the msgbox "Download Incomplete/
Try again? Yes/No" displayed. I click No.

Then installation commences.

Everything whizzes along just fine until

Error 2: "Warning - deleting c:\Cygwin/usr/src/expect-20010117-1/tcl so I
can make a directory there". This phenomenon has been described much better
than I can do so at

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-05/msg00720.html

Error 3: Something a bit weird happened apparently while installing
/usr/src/src/sed-3.02 [that was what was displayed in the progress window]
with the display of

"Cant open (null) for reading. No such file"

but actually I think this was probably something related to the installation
of the pesky src files for setup, since this same message makes a chronic
appearance at this stage, whenever an installation/upgrade is attempted.

Everything works fine up to the "Create 2 icons?" stage and thereafter, but
...

Error 4: ... the installation is finally completed with the diplayed message

Installation Incomplete. Check /setup.log.full for details.

HTH.

Fergus

Both setup.log and setup.log.full are incredibly long. Here are some
relevant (?) lines from setup.log:

That's it: everything else in these files is completely unexceptionable.
