Hi,
When "Install[ing] from Local Directory", I get the error "setup.ini is
older than the one you used last time you installed cygwin. Proceed anyway?"
Unfortunately, it doesn't tell me
- how to fix this appropriately or
- what bad side-effects this "proceed anyway" could have ...
Any hints?
Many thanks in advance!
Ralf

If you have several directories with several setup.ini files then most
probably one is older than the other. You can ignore this message then.

Thanks for the info - where would I submit an improvement suggestion for the
next version of setup.exe to the idea that this error message should become
a little bit more self explanatory?

Robert,
I have an idea (no patches, sorry), would it be possible to capture the
output of the postinstall to logfiles? They go by so fast that you see
errors, but then they are gone. If that's not possible, perhaps an
optional stepwise post install, for debugging, where you'd hit return
after each command. Just a thought...
Cheers,
Nicholas
