Cygwin Installation Stops in Middle

Cygwin Installation Stops in Middle

[Fitzharris, Margaret A]

I used to code in C using Cygwin and Netbeans to compile but have not used it since Spring, 2012. When I went to use an old program, I received a warning saying that my Cygwin version was out of date. When I tried to update my Cygwin installation online, the program would get stuck in the middle of the update/install Cygwin program. Thinking that this was related to my previous Cygwin files on my computer, I deleted all previous versions of Cygwin and Netbeans. The only C compiler on my desktop is now Code Composer Studio. Whenever I try installing Cygwin after all these alterations, the installation process still gets stuck at the same point when installing. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks,

Margaret Fitzharris

Margaret
please follow up on the same thread.
Opening a new one to discuss always the same issue make
difficult to support you

This script is not part of base
   /etc/postinstall/dbus.sh

so you have residual of previous failed trials.
Setup is trying to run all scripts    /etc/postinstall/*.sh
all completed are renamed    /etc/postinstall/*.sh.done

Remove the full cygwin install directory, and install only
the  Base category (that is the default)

Regards
Marco

Are you sure that it is really stuck? When you are installing TexLive,
things seemingly stop progressing for a long time because it takes a
long time to install it and run all post installation scripts for it.

Cygwin Installation Stops in Middle

[Fitzharris, Margaret A]

I have been waiting for hours and the installation is stuck at the same point. I have tried both methods of installing all the files and just the default files, and the installation process always gets stuck at the same place. I have turned off the firewall and anti-virus software on my computer.

Is there anything else that I could be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Margaret Fitzharris
