Windows 2008 64-bit install

Windows 2008 64-bit install

[Bryan Slatner]

I'm trying to install Cygwin on a stock Amazon EC2 Windows 2008 64-bit image.

At the end of setup, I get a dialog that says "Postinstall script errors" 
with the 
following information in it:

Package: Unknown package
	000-cygwin-post-install.sh exit code -1073741819
	base-files-mketc.sh exit code -1073741819
	base-files-profile.sh exit code -1073741819
	bash.sh exit code 35584
	coreutils.sh exit code -1073741819
	joe.sh exit code -1073741819
	man.sh exit code -1073741819
	terminfo.sh exit code 35584
	terminfo0.sh exit code -1073741819

Some Googling revealed someone else with the identical problem, but no 
resolution.

Following some suggestions, I turned off DEP, but the problem persists.

I put all the logs in a zip file here: 
http://www.slatner.com/quick/cygwinresults.zip

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Why don't you simply run (at least) one of the scripts manually and see 
if you see an error?!

UAC is much more likely a problem.

I ran them all, with the following results:

bash-3.2# /etc/postinstall/000-cygwin-post-install.sh
bash-3.2# /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh

UAC is the first thing I turn off when spinning up a new machine :)

I'm not an expert at this...I usually just install, configure the SSH server, 
and go about my business. I've never had it not work before.

I managed to run all but 3 of the postinstall scripts manually, and that has 
restored some basic functionality (e.g., before this, I couldn't even run the 
"ls" command without a "command not found" error). I'm leery of going through 
the SSH server install in this state.

I'd just delete everything and do a fresh minimal installation. If this 
fails again, you can continue here. First check

I'll do my best, but my order of operations when I got the failure was:

1) Spin up a brand new EC2 Windows 2008 64-bit instance
2) Log in
3) Install Cygwin

I literally did nothing else. So, if there is some dodgy software causing an
issue, I may not have the luxury of uninstalling it.

I haven't tried it myself, but I am told the same does NOT happen on a 32-bit
W2K8 instance.

Thanks,
Bryan

Could this be related to this earlier thread?

I think you're right, Jeremy.

Once I stopped looking for my specific error message, it seems this is just a 
general problem with AWS images. And Amazon is silent on the issue. Sad.

For now, I guess I'm just going to use KpyM for my SSH server.
