Mark Molinari wrote:Hello,
I discovered what the problem was. I was trying to only download using setup.exe to a different directory than I was using previously. But since I already had Cygwin installed on my windows 2003 server, it didn't download anything I had already installed. I thought by selecting "download only" and then selecting "install" (at the top of the tree) for all packages, it would download everything to the new directory. But it just skipped over everything I already had installed. So when I tried to install on Vista over the network, things were missing.
Thanks for the feedback. It's strange how similar problems get reported
in batches. I've just moved the "Did you use 'setup.exe' to create your
archive?" up a notch on my list of questions to ask at the start.
