All,
I got it working, finally! Thanks for all the help. I ran "regedit" and 
wiped out all entries for cygwin. A fresh install of cygwin then went 
without a hitch.

I agree.  If you're not getting the /usr/bin directory then something is
definitely wrong there w.r.t. the installation.  Perhaps someone else here
on the list can suggest something else to look at in terms of setup.exe.
I suppose you could check to make sure that the cygwin package itself 
downloaded.  But if it did, then there's something strange happening on 
that end that must be causing setup.exe to choke before it actually installs
anything.  Sorry, I don't have allot of ideas for debugging this.

Thanks. I think that for some reason, the required bin directory is not 
getting installed. I can't modify the .bat file unless I can find the 
directory it needs.

One of the (implicit, unstated) rules of using 'setup.exe' is that you
run it in a directory other than the directory in which you will install
the files.

try this (read the entire reply before starting):

   1. create a directory, say c:\cygwin-setup

   2. download (or copy) setup.exe to that directory

   3. run setup.exe by clicking on it from windows explorer

   4. one of the dialogs in 'setup.exe' is called 'Select Root Install
Directory'.
      Set the value of 'Root Directory' to something other than
c:\cygwin-setup, say, c:\cywin

   5. The following dialog is called 'Set Local Package Directory'.  Set
this to something other than the value you selected for 'Root
Directory', say, c:\cygwin-setup.

If you are running WinNT or Win2000, consider running NTFS as your
filesystem.  See the Windows 'convert' utility for instructions on how
to convert from FAT or FAT32, if necessary.

Sorry, I'm not that good at interpreting setup log files.  Perhaps 
others can help.  I'm assuming c:\foo exists locally.  I'm a bit 
concerned by messages like "compress_bz::error called" but that might
be fine.  Better info would be the output of cygcheck -s -r -v.  That
I can read *and* interpret.  Did my suggestion regarding editting 
cygwin.bat help?

Thanks. But I don't know what the proper directory is. Under my install 
directory, the only directories are lib, release, tmp, usr.
My setup.log file is below. I've been installing and re-installing 
repeatedly.

Based on your general description, it's not clear why you see the problem
you do.  Of course, the devil is in the details and those are lacking.  The
log files from setup might be of some help.  However, you should be able 
to resolve your immediate problem by simply editing your cygwin.bat file
to point to the proper directory.  Still, it would be interesting to know
more about your installation to see what went wrong.  Perhaps the output
of cygcheck -s -r -v would help.

Subject: How do I run shell?


I just installed Cygwin. When I try to launch using desktop Cygwin icon, 
a window launches momentarilly, then disappears. I also tried running 
the cygwin.bat file, but that doesn't work. It tries to chdir to a bin 
directory that isn't there. I tried uninstalling everything and doing a 
complete re-install. That hasn't helped. During installation, I left 
everything set to default, except adding the openssh and ssl under Net 
category.
