Thanks Rob!
For the time being, I'm using a stupid way of working around it. I remove the
/var/log/setup.log* every time first. Then I invoke setup.exe in the package
directory by the normal user a/c. After it goes to the selection menu of the
site for downloading, I click "next" to let go. At the same time, another
setup.exe invoked by the admin a/c comes up and starts the installation until
it finishes. This "dirty" method works for the 3rd times today.
Hope you'll sort out the real problem. Thanks!
Cheers,
Jason

Well, the latest workaround is:
1) delete /var/log/setup.log* by the root a/c
2) cp "download packages"/setup.log* /var/log
3) start setup.exe in user mode and "next" as usual for downloading
4) start setup.exe in "kernel" mode and just "next" as setup.exe in user mode
is running.
5) I could see "next" after MD5 checking and finish the installation in
"kernel" mode.
Yes, I agree there's a file permission problem.

The "Dragon" is the Server 2003 with the problem and the "Zeus" is another

Sorry.
I use normal user to download and then the admin a/c to install such that all
CYGWIN instaled packages belong to admin. Recently, after downloading by the
normal user a/c, I cannot simply invoke the admin a/c to finish the
installation; it simply stops with both the "back" and "next" buttons dimmed
after MD5 checking!!. I could only "cancel" the installation and nothing else.
I've struggled several times to try to fix the problem:
i) I successfully installed once after removing the /var/log/setup.log*
ii) I successfully installed once after copying the /var/log/setup.log* from
another server 2k3.
iii) I successfully installed once after copying the setup.log* from the
"download" side by the normal user a/c.
iv) NOW this morning I'm trying after I could not proceed again with both the
"back" and "next" buttons dimmed after MD5 checking again!!
I tried the above i)-iv) since each method was valid ONCE only!!
Please help.
Thanks.
Jason

Those log files you removed are out diagnostics mechanism, Get us the
logs after you hit cancel, and we might be able to help. Sounds like
you've dug yourself a deep hole here by fiddling rather than reporting
the issue - and in the process destroyed the diagnostic data we'd need.

Is it possible that your admin account does not have the right
permissions to write to a setup.log file owned by the user account?

Dear gurus,
I normally separate the normal user a/c and the admin a/c in my Server 2k3. I
use the normal user a/c doing the downloading of various CYGWIN packages and
then I use the admin a/c (here the admin is called root like UNIX) to do the
installation. Recently I find the installation cannot proceed after MD5
checking. I tried several times to remove /var/log/setup.log* and it continued
to finish the installation. But this morning, the installation could not
continue again and I removed the /var/log/setup.log* but this time it didn't
work anymore.
Anybody has any idea of what's going on?
Thanks!
Jason
