Yes, I have it... but
setup.exe 2.427  crashes again.
I think that the problem may be a corrupted package  
because setup did not complete the MD5 checking.
Now I have just deleted xorg-x11-bin
and it looks more friendly.

Have you got setup.ini as well as setup.exe in d:\cygkit\?
You'll need it.

setup crashes

[user]

 Hello,
        I am trying to install cygwin on win2k+sp4+...
 ... + latest patch.
 I am using the current cygwin setup.exe
 in two steps, first download to local directory 
 d:\cygkit then install from local directory to d:\cygwin
 My win2k is in C:,  D: is a NTFS partition with 1,6 GB
 of free space.

 It always deads with:

 Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
 
 Runtime Error!
 
 program: D:\cygkit\setup.exe

 abnormal termination!

setup crashes

[james pentland]

a crash in setup occurs at install.cc:657 in function
md5_one():
void md5_one (const packagesource& source)
      io_stream *thefile = io_stream::open
(source.Cached (), "rb");

the class String constructor String::String (const
char *acString) at String++.cc:46
is passed a null argument acString, causing an
exception in memcpy() at String++.cc:48.

the memory dump of class packagesource source,
argument to md5_one(), is at 0xa20a718, shown below;
the memory dump of contained class String cached is at
0x0a22a880, shown below.
(gdb does not understand class packagesource in this
frame.)
String::_data::cstr has a value of 0x0.

what is the semantics of String::_data::cstr?
what is the semantics of String::Cached() in class
packagesource?

something is broken in there.

this event pertains to the class packagesource
instance for package zlib.
this packagesource instance for zlib at this point is
a different one from the one used by
validateCachedPackage() at download.cc:74, during the
initial md5 checks.

i am not clear if the packagesource instance is being
stepped on or if it is not being properly set up.

is this enough information for you to understand where
the problem is?
i can do more work on the problem if need be.

the crash happens with setup 2.415, 2.416 and 2.418.
i am debugging setup 2.415.

i include some useful parts of the debug session
below.

You can download it from the setup-snapshot source, or from CVS.

setup crashes

[james pentland]

i want to compile setup 2.415-1 so i can debug it,
since it crashes nearly every time i use it.
make wants a file RECTWrapper.h, which is missing from
the distribution.
where should i find it?

You may want to investigate this issue with one of the setup
snapshots at <http://cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/>.  I don't
really expect that 2.418 will solve the problem but it's worth
trying.  Also, you could try debugging setup with the debug
snapshot version of 2.415, since you're seeing a crash with that.
Just some ideas...

setup crashes

[james pentland]

Setup.exe version 2.416

Setup fails almost always to install from my local
cygwin archive.

in each case the crash occurs during the install step
  checking MD5 for _update-info-dir-00221-1
this is the first procedure after the Select Packages
screen.


the crash occurs in these cases:
1) check install for all category
2) check install individually for all categories but
not the all category
3) choose all package items individually
4) choose many package items individually, including
all development and interpreter packages


the crash does not occur and setup completes
successfully only in this case:
1) check default for all category


this is a complete archive downloaded from
http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/cygwin/.
in each case, all MD5 checks complete before the
Select Packages screen is presented.


i also have Setup.exe version 2.415.
this behaves in an almost identical fashion to 2.416,
although it crashes with a warning popup, as follows:

  Runtime error!
  Program: F:\cygwin\setup.exe
  abnormal program termination

again, the crash occurs in
  checking MD5 for _update-info-dir-00221-1
following the Select Packages screen.

again, the crash occurs in this case:
1) check install for all category

and not in this case:
1) check default for all category


however, i have used 2.415 successfully with my
previous archive snapshot from 12 months ago numerous
times.



how can setup crash when the md5 checks have
completed?
