installation hangs

[Norman Clerman]

Hello,

I am trying to install Cygwin 64-bit on my computer. The operating
system is Windows 7, Enterprise Edition, Service Pack 1.

When I try to install a minimum (basic) version of Cygwin, the
installation hangs during the post installation process, when 40% of
this stage has completed. This is while running ca-certificates.

When I cancel the installation by clicking on the <Cancel> button, the
final lines of file setup.log.full are

Rebasing with list /var/cache/rebase/rebase_all, built from
/var/cache/rebase/rebase_lst /var/cache/rebase/rebase_dyn
/var/cache/rebase/rebase_user.

2016/02/08 07:20:35 note: Installation Complete
2016/02/08 07:20:35 Ending cygwin installation


I start the installation by typing the following line in a command
prompt window:

setup-x86.exe --no-admin

I do have administrative rights on my computer, but attempting to
install cygwin for all users fails in the same manner.

Does anyone have any suggestions how to solve this problem?

Thank you.

Installation hangs

[Fred Cox]

When I try to execute cdk.exe from the latest directory, the installation
program appears to hang at 99% complete.  I made sure the file was ftp'ed
in binary mode, so that should not be the problem.  I also tried multiple
downloads using different programs in case of a corrupted download.  Any
suggestions?
