I always reported these strange installation error when during an installation suddenly some of the files could not be extracted from the archives (always different ones). This happens on a machine using the Norton AV (and no - thanks to SMS I cannot disable this). Never had a problem on my Notebook without this AV software.
Greetings,
Jörg

I'm sorry. I didn't understand that it was the extraction of
mingwc10.dll that was causing your problem. I should have remembered
that as previous problem reports also indicated this.

Ok. Now I understand the magic DLL problem. This is very strange.

I wasn't suggesting that but it does sound like a plan. You could
try:
tar -f cygwin-1.1.1.tar.gz --delete usr/bin/mingwc10.dll
and then running "setup cygwin" to extract it (use the 'd' for disk
option).

I think that someone else reported this too. Is there any way that you
could disable McAfee and try this?

Ok. It doesn't sound like a cygwin-is-running issue anyway.
