Well, there is no much information on the dialog box displaying
the error :(
The good thing is that you send me all the screenshot and I could
"exactly" reproduce steps you have taken. Now the bad thing is that it
doesn't crash on my side. However I'd like to ask you some questions
about your environment:
1. From the screenshots it seems like you're using Win95 OS - am I
right ? If not - which Windows version are you using ?
2. Is this a clean cygwin install ?
For others interested in looking into this problem. I'll will describe below the
steps which the original poster has taken on the various setup.exe
screens:
1.) Selected Install from local directory
2.) Selected the directory and installation parameters
F:\Cygwin, "Just Me", "DOS"
3.) Selected package directory from where setup needs to install the cygwin toolkit
F:\cygwinrelease
4.) Selected the package for installation (All Default)
It is intereting to note that the user was installing from a
directory that contains no setup.ini files - so the screenshot
shows:
+ All (Default)
+ Misc (Default)
5.) Installation begins and proceeds to 14%
Here it crashes as described in the original message. The
msvcrt.dll displays a message box:
Runtime error!
abnormal program termination
