newsetup does nothing

newsetup does nothing

[Jonathan Larmour]

Dudes,

I just wiped my windows partition of all traces of its old cygwin
installation (including registry) so I could install 1.1.

With the setup.exe I just downloaded, nothing happens once it gets to the
install stage. After I tell it to use the default c:\cygwin root and
internet install, it just reports:

-=-=-=-=-
Connecting to ftp site...Done.
Creating the uninstall file...Done.

Installation took 24 seconds.
-=-=-=-=-

and setup.log contains just the uninstall line.

oldsetup.exe gets further, but not much:
-=-=-=-=-=-

Connecting to ftp site...Done.
Connecting to ftp site...Done.

Connecting to ftp site...Done.
Unable to open "\s45.12" for output: No such file or directory

[repeat ad nauseam]
-=-=-=-=-=-

and it just keeps failing to download.

Obviously I can download all the .tar.gz's by hand, but still...

The directory was empty (other than setup.exe), and this is NT4 SP6.

This isn't getting any further.  It's just printing more messages.
Judging by the fact that this is printing something with the name
"Squid" in it, I assume that there is some problem there.  There isn't
any users-guide.tar.gz available for downloading.

The setup code is using generic Microsoft Internet API calls to download
stuff but apparently this isn't foolproof.

It's the same on sunsite.org.uk and sourceware.cygnus.com for both old and
new installers.

What happens if you choose a different mirror to download from?

Cheers,
