Dear colleagues,
When trying to install cygwin 1.7 on a Windows XP I came through
almost the same problems found in the message below
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-11/msg00607.html>
the only difference is that the message in setup.log says "file not
found" about /etc/setup/setup.rc, but the rest of the behaviour is the
same: "retry" leads to another window asking "retry or continue" and
"continue" leads to a hang in the process.
The window tells me to kill any other cygwin process and reboot, but
there is none running (this is my first trial).
What else could I tell about this to help someone to help me?
I apologize if this message is not full of information, but the error
messages are all I have. I tried to attach the PNGs of the error
windows, but the system blocked me.
