Subject: difficulty getting ddrescue to install properly
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2020 02:24:29 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <933547441.4732854.1604629469194@mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

I've used ddrescue in the past but I can't seem to install it now!

I ran https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe and installed ddrescue

In the dropdown under choose packages, I choose "full" so they all show and I choose "ddrescue" it's 1.25-1 and I click it so it installs so it shows "keep". And I click next and it claims to install. I haven't always looked at the version in the past but that kind of procedure has always installed that and things in the past.


But then here I can't get ddrescue to run!

I'm on Win7.
