cygwin installation fails in Windows 10 when running with --quite-mode

cygwin installation fails in Windows 10 when running with --quite-mode

[Arkady]

Hi,

I am trying to do:

setup-x86_64.exe -q -p wget -v

The installation fails with the last line "Changing gid to
Administrators" and a small dialog box "setup-x86_64.exe" has stopped
working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly..."

I tried
setup-x86_64.exe -q -p wget -v -B
and
setup-x86_64.exe -q -p wget -v -B -R C:\Windows\Temp

The same result - the setup fails
The interactive GUI installation works fine.
The quite mode fails to install/update Cygwin on the machin where it
is already installed.


What am I missing?

Thanks.

I tried again on the clean Windows VM

setup-x86_64.exe -q -B -R C:\Users\user\Downloads -s
http://cygwin/mirror/constant.com

After that I tried


setup-x86_64.exe -q -B -R C:\Users\user\Downloads -s
http://cygwin/mirror/constant.com -p wget,screen

Both worked. Looks like my bad

Re: cygwin installation fails in Windows 10 when running with --quite-mode

[Arkady]

The following command on a clean Windows 10 virtual machine
setup-x86_64.exe -p wget,screen -q -R C:\cygwin -s
http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com
completes fine, sets the icon on the desktop.
When I open the cygwin terminal and try commands wget or screen I am
getting "command not found"
Indeed folder C:\cygwin does not contain wget and screen utilities.
Apparently I am still missing something about the usage of quiet mode

Ok,
I have figured it out
setup-x86_64.exe -p "wget,screen" -q -R C:\cygwin -s
http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com

Re: cygwin installation fails in Windows 10 when running with --quite-mode

[Arkady]

Reproduced again with Autounattend.xml
My goal is to prepare a Windows machine with Cygwin installed. I am
trying to script the process.

I have the following section the Autounattend.xml file

                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                    <CommandLine>cmd.exe /c
C:\Windows\Temp\setup-x86.exe -q -R C:\cygwin -l C:\Windows\Temp
--packages "wget,zip,screen" -s
http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com</CommandLine>
                    <Description>Install Cygwin</Description>
                    <Order>99</Order>
                    <RequiresUserInput>true</RequiresUserInput>
                </SynchronousCommand>


The whole file is
https://github.com/larytet/auto-win/blob/master/autounattend/packer-floppy-win10/Autounattend.xml

The installation fails with the same "setu-x86.exe has stopped
working". I do not see output, but I bet that this is the same
"Changing gid to
Administrators" problem.
I suspect that this is something related to running as an
Administrator or System.

I will greatly appreciate any tip.

Suggest the first step in your process should be to download
	https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe
as you will get warnings if setup .exe and .ini versions mismatch (setup just
changed again).

Use -B to install for current user only, or run under admin account and use -W
to wait for elevated child,
You could add -v to get more info in ROOT/var/log/setup.log (appended summaries)
and .../setup.log.full (last run details).

You might want to add -g to be able to rerun and keep versions in old installs
upgraded in sync with new installs, as Cygwin does rolling releases and supports
only current releases; you might also need this for initial installs to get base
packages: it's been a long time since I tried any initial installs.

You should not need to run cmd unless you want to run a bat[ch] or c[om]m[an]d
script.

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Re: cygwin installation fails in Windows 10 when running with --quite-mode

[Arkady]

Another update: the quite mode sometimes succeeds. I estimate that the
success rate is 30%. It rarely succeeds very first time.

The problem is definitely not new. See, for example,
https://github.com/boxcutter/windows/blob/master/floppy/cygwin.bat#L50
The batch start with rather encouraging "Force CYGWIN_ARCH to 32-bit -
64-bit seems to crash a lot"
Indeed 32 bits installer sometimes works.

Re: cygwin installation fails in Windows 10 when running with --quite-mode

[Arkady]

For the sake of other desperate developers searching for a solution
after 14 hours of work
This line works (most of the time?):

If you complete the quote with the later comment suffix
	"... on Windows 2008 and 2012"
that may have been true on server installs five or ten years ago, almost half
Cygwin's history, but Cygwin 64 bit has come a long way in that time, as has
Windows 64 itself, Cygwin Windows server support, and the Cygwin 64 bit packages
supported.
Many of us with 64 bit machines and OSes have been running Cygwin 64 bit since
the Cygwin packages we needed became available on Cygwin 64 bit.
Nowadays, you should install the Cygwin arch matching your OS, and Cygwin 64 bit
is recommended if you need to install a lot of packages with DLLs, e.g. X Window
System, especially if you want to run full Gnome or KDE desktops, with many apps
and many dependencies on library packages.

> Indeed 32 bits installer sometimes works.

Cygwin 32 bit and setup-x86 will not work on Windows 64 bit server (2008R2 and
newer) that no longer have 32 bit WoW subsystem support.
You may be unable to set up to run a lot of apps with many dependencies on
libraries in the available address space.

This is long outdated nonsense just like many of the options they use in
the CYGWIN environment variable (that are also missing a space, so they
wouldn't have worked on an old enough Cygwin either.

BTW, you shouldn't download setup-x86_64 and then store it as setup-x86
in CYGWIN.PS1.

Achim.

That is usually caused by BLODA that recognizes an application that
tries to elevate itself while run from some script.  The solution may be
as simple as to remove the ADS annotation that says "this executable was
downloaded from the dangerous internet" or you may have to explicitly
except setup.exe someplace.  Other potential solutions are to start the
CMD or script with administrative privileges so setup doesn't need to
elevate itslef or use a program like runas that can start setup directly
with elevated privileges.  Which of these is most appropriate to your
environment is something you'll have to find out yourself.

Thank you, Achim,

I am running in the Administrator console - there is "Administrator:
Command Prompt" at the top
of the windows. I am pulling the file from Internet using a power shell script.
According to dir /R there is only one data stream for the file

Re: cygwin installation fails in Windows 10 when running with --quite-mode

[Arkady]

I have little doubt that here is a bug in the Cygwin installer. I
reproduce the problem
consistently. I use the following command 10 times
setup-x86.exe -q -s http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com
The setup fails one time of three in my Win10 64 bits setup.

Please don't.

In any case, you might wish to consult the license you have for Windows 
to see if you are permitted to do this...

Wait what? are you using setup-x86.exe? or setup-x86_64.exe?

I have run this command many times, but I can't reproduce this problem.

Despite more than 10 emails from you on this subject, you still haven't 
mentioned what version of setup you are using.

You might like to try installing the cygwin upx and gdb packages, and 
then (assuming you are using setup 2.883):

upx -d setup-x86-64.exe
wget https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.883.x86_64.dbg
mv setup-2.883.x86_64.dbg setup.dbg

and then, in an elevated shell:

gdb --args setup-x86-64.exe -q -s http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com

at the '(gdb)' prompt

(gdb) r

when your error occurs:

(gdb) bt

[n8tm via cygwin]

Cygwin installer annoys virus checkers which never used to care.  White list setup.exe before casting blame

I have little doubt that here is a bug in the Cygwin installer. I
reproduce the problem
consistently. I use the following command 10 times
setup-x86.exe -q -s http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com
The setup fails one time of three in my Win10 64 bits setup.
