I had a similar problem. Wanted to copy my Win7 cygwin install to another machine (WinXPx64). I also had problems with permission denied as an admin -- in my case, I think they were common cygwin DLL's. I think they were inuse -- and somehow that prevented them being copied. In my case, I was aided by having the other machines 'C' drive network mounted on Z:\. I was able to copy the couple (3 actually) of files that failed, manually, to old-machine's /tmp. There they weren't files that would be in use && then I could copy them across the net with anything. Since both machines had write access to each other's C: drive, I copied the files from old's /tmp to the bin & lib directories where these files lived. Once that was done it started functioning. Maybe that will give you some ideas? I was sorta in the dark as to what was causing the failure as well, so I poked about... ;-) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
