90% of programs are unavailable during install using setup.exe in Windows Vista Home Premium

90% of programs are unavailable during install using setup.exe in Windows Vista Home Premium

[jeff beck]

I had no problem installing and using Cygwin, however tcsh and most
all programs are marked as n/a.  I Googled for hours and could not
find an answer to this problem. My first concern is getting tcsh.
Secondly, that I am doing something wrong since the majority of the
programs are marked n/a.

I cycled through all the 'views'. I ran setup.exe a second time. No
difference - it showed me what was installed, and there were no
additional programs I could select, all were marked n/a.

Thanks in advance for any help.

uname gives: CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64

I didn't a choice for selecting different versions of Cgywin.

Jeff
you are misunderstanding setup.exe selection windows.

On column "new" click on "skip" at the tcsh row

first click will give you 6.18.00-3,
second click 6.18.00-2
third click will return to skip

If you leave "6.18.00-3"

setup will install tcsh version 6.18.00-3 and will propose the
needed dependency.

Regards
Marco

Thank you. Who would have thought clicking 'skip' would actually UN-skip?

The column displays the current intent/status.  Therefore
clicking on 'skip' means to make some other selection ...

But I guess what's intuitive for one person is not necessarily
so for another ... Eliot Moss

And it isn't mentioned in the users guide in the using setup.exe
section.  I was about to suggest checking there but after looking
could not for this issue.
