- Bcc:
I am having a similar problem. I am trying to install from a local
directory, after having copied the packages from cd to hard drive. set.exe
gets to the point where it parses (or appears to parse) setup.ini - then
quits abruptly with an error message to the effect that an error log is
being written.
Problem is - \etc\setup has no log file...so I can't even diagnose the
error. Any thoughts? (I'm using Windows 2000 Professional on a Toshiba
laptop) Thank you.
Regards, Pat Jones

I really hate to be such a PITA ( this time, anyway ). Is there anywhere
you'all would suggest I look,
for a probable cause on this monster. It has me dead-in-the-water as
regards Cygwin.

Hi all,
I've made some improvements to setup's error reporting.
Can you try version 2.431 from:
http://cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/
(Little has changed since the last release, so I guess this is a
release-candidate).
It should give a more detailed error which should (hopefully) enable me to
trace the bug.
Max.
