Re: error during install

It looks as though mhash is causing the problem. I
did another full install and unselected mhash and it
installed just fine. I did this test with a 2 month
old release of setup.exe and the latest. I will have
to test the different packages to see if there is
anything that is malfunctioning.
which setup.exe version? cygcheck? We are not interested in kernel32
dumps without any useful info.
mhash causing setup to crash is quite interesting, because it's a tiny
package without any dependencies and just a few files. And I cannot
reproduce it.
/usr/bin/cygmhash-2.dll
/usr/include/mhash.h
/usr/lib/libmhash.a
/usr/lib/libmhash.dll.a
/usr/lib/libmhash.la

The mentioned /usr/share/mc/syntax/xml.syntax is from mc, the next
package in your list probably, and not from mhash.
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=mc%2Fmc-4.6.1-1&grep=xml.syntax
I got setup to hang (not to crash as you reported) when the ACL (file
permissions) forbid to write, but then setup just waits forever until
the perms are fixed (or not).
But maybe mingw or mhash-devel, the next packages in setup.ini, and
which both are empty, might setup crash.
I do seem to have finally gotten my old install back
into a usable state by using an older version of
setup.exe.
It prompted several times that there is a newer
version and had a few missing-dll dialog boxes but
at least now I am back to where I started.

Subject: RE: error during install
This sounds similar to a problem I've had with both
a clean
install and an attempt
to update a working install. I keep trying to get
cygiconv-2
to load by playing with
the setup install options. I think I could make this
work but
sometimes default+install
UNINSTALLS stuff making this approach unworkable- I
can get
cygwin to run but
it can't find sed. When I request the addtional
stuff that
includes sed, someone
feels the need to delete the stuff I installed to
get that
much to work.
Eventually setup dies and then I can't even get bash
( someone deleted
bash.exe even though I simply requested additional
packages).
What changed in the last few months? I've made
several
installs and never had
this kind of problem. I thought I could just add
things
without uninstalling
parts of bash.
ISN'T IT POSSIBLE TO LOAD CYGWIN WITHOUT HAVING TO
GO THROUGH A GUI?
THIS SETUP MENU SEEMS TO HAVE PROBLEMS.
THANKS.

Subject: error during install
Installing from local directory (doing an all
install)
it errors out at 43%, mhash is being
installed at the time. It creates an appcompat
error
file in the temp directory which is
deleted as soon as I say ok or close out the error
messages, this file is listed at the end of this.
At the time of error message in the setup.exe
window
it is
installing mhash-0.9.1-1 and the specific file
being
installed is /usr/share/mc/syntax/xml.syntax
I try to reinstall without deleting the c:\cygwin
folder and I get the same thing. If I try to
delete
c:\cygwin then I have several files that are not
allowing me to delete them within the cygwin
directory.
I had an XP SP2 system crash that had this full
install working perfectly. I reinstalled
everything
from scratch, XP then SP2 and all Windows updates.
I
have also edited the boot.ini with adding the flag
/NoExecute=AlwaysOff and still issues.
Is there anyway to resolve this?
Thanks
Robert
