Re: Cygwin Installation Problems on Windows Vista

I've had this problem with my installation as well and solve it by using the Windows XP Service Pack 2 compatibility mode (selectable in the Properties window of the Cygwin setup.exe executable).

It installs fine now... hope it works out for you too.

Being using cygwin for years with XP, however when attempting to
install everything (every package as I usually do) on new Vista
computer, the installation script gets stuck during the post install
step.

During /etc/postinstall/gnuplot.sh the process hangs. Anyone else
find a problem with this???

Ive even cancelled the installation, manually deselected the gnuplot
package, but same thing happens.
