I was unable to reproduce this.  Is there sufficient disk space on the
drive on which you are installing Cygwin?

Install Bug on Windows XP

[Thomas Dineen]

Gentle People:

    When I install the newest Cygwin 32 on Windows XP the
install process hangs on cmake-debuginfo-3.3.2-1.
The system seems to hang in an infinite loop with
setup.exe drawing 99% of the CPU.

    Please note that the download and SHA checksum
check seem to complete successfully.

    Please note that I am running Windows XP SP3 with
with the current updates installed.

     Is there a way to work around this bug and complete
the install manually?

Thank You.
Thomas Dineen

Yaakov:

    Yes on the disk space.

    Is there a way to manually finish the install?

It would be more worthwhile to create a new install in a separate directory,
and start small.
Only install base set of packages.
Then gradually add tools you need.
I don't know, why you are installing -debuginfo packages, but it is IMO
unlikely to cause issues by itself.
Sounds more like environmental issue, or issue triggered immediately following
the installation of the mentioned package.
