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.
