Re: Cygwin Installation Problems on Windows Vista (killing sh.exe helps)

by lent :: Rate this Message:

For getting the installation to keep going, killing off an sh.exe process via Task Manager's End Process, moves things along. This also seems to need to be done for "texf" (I think that was the name) package.

At least we get to the final setup screen this way :-)

Here are the two files I found broken on the installation:
gnuplot.sh
postinstall-ec-fonts-mftraced.sh

And just for kicks
How do I manually change the passwd and group files. Although under
windows Im listed as an administrator, cygwin states my group as none.
And Im unable to chmod chgroup these two files. Never had this
problem with XP.
