First install on Win 7: cygwin1.dll is missing from your computer

First install on Win 7: cygwin1.dll is missing from your computer

[Sam Habiel]

I used the setup-x86.exe program to install Cygwin on a Windows 7 x64
box. I have tried several times and I get that error message. (Yes, I
want the 32 bit version of Cygwin.)

I can't find cygwin1.dll in the c:\cygwin\bin directory (I installed
it in c:\cygwin).

Is the installer broken?

Do you have an anti-virus program that might have deleted it?

I screwed up the cygwin package information with my latest package
update.  The installer is innocent.  I fixed the problem on the
sourceware.org server, it should propagate to the mirrors shortly.


Sorry folks,
