- Subject: Problems with Setup.exe
I recently tried to upgrade parts of a working cygwin installation and had
a lot of problems with setup hanging while installing packages at the
installation stage. I was using the latest released version of Setup.exe
2.218.2.9.
I gave up eventually and delete my previous installation and started from
scratch.
I got a several "cannot open (null) for reading" messages during the
installation process. I found that several packages were not installed as
a result (bash, gdbm, login, readline, termcap, vim, zlib) and the
resulting installation wouldn't bring up a command prompt.
I fixed it by manually unzipping the bziped tar for bash and zlib and
copying the files in.
