Re: setup 2.427 runtime error



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.

I just reported a possibly similar situation


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.
