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.

What are your options for running the Cygwin Setup program and your answers
input to dialogue box entries?

Check /var/log/setup.log.full for ddrescue install or errors and if that shows
nothing check /var/log/setup.log, which is a summary of all Cygwin Setup program
runs ever completed under that Cygwin instance.

Did you run the Cygwin Setup program to install ddrescue using the same Cygwin
instance root directory as your usual working instance, is that Cygwin instance
root directory C:/Cygwin, and are you running interactively under that same
Cygwin instance?

How are you starting bash, is it Cygwin bash, and which terminal are you running
under?
