Hi,

I ftp-ed the installation from
ftp://ring.aist.go.jp/archives/pc/gnu-win32/latest
that is for cygwin-b20 full-split.
After doing command 'copy /b xaa.txt+xab.txt+ ... +xal.txt full.exe
and running it, the dialog windows "PackageForTheWeb Error" with
message "Corrupt cabinet file!" appears.
After the OK button is clicked, the execution terminates!

Platform used: Pentium III 550MHZ with 256MB SDRAM.
OS: Win98

I really appreciate any help!

Thanks,

Zul.

Zul.,

The file full.exe needs to be binary (or executable, if you prefer). 
The 'copy' command format you used will work on both text and binary
files.  The original file names on
ftp://ring.aist.go.jp/archives/pc/gnu-win32/latest do not have a '.txt'
extension while the names you mention above do, so I would assume that
your ftp was in text format and your program appended this ending (this
is a guess).

Try getting the files again, being sure they are in binary format.  Then
use the copy command with the /b option, on whatever the filenames are
that your ftp application creates.

Good luck.

Hi,

   Thanks very much for responses.
The problem solved!
What I did was, I checked back all the files ftp-ed.
I found several files (downloaded from the first site)
have smaller sizes -- I downloaded again, with success, i.e.,
the sizes are same except one file which consistently
has smaller size than others. I try another ftp site and downloaded
it -- with success! Now that I have all files with the same sizes
(of course, except the last file). When running full.exe, it
does install successfully.

FYI when I clicked the files (from ftp site) to download, it
somewhat automatically save it with file ext. .txt.

Pasted below is the overall files list:

MERGE    BAT           125  04/12/99  9:26a merge.bat

FULL     EXE    14.247.216  05/12/99  7:40a full.exe

XAL_ORG  TXT       167.216  01/12/99  9:51a xal_org.txt


Note:
1) The files with *_ORG.TXT are the ones initially downloaded with
smaller sizes.
2) File XAL_ORG.TXT & XAL.TXT simply verify that the file size
are valid.
