Setup.exe version 2.416
Setup fails almost always to install from my local
cygwin archive.
in each case the crash occurs during the install step
checking MD5 for _update-info-dir-00221-1
this is the first procedure after the Select Packages
screen.
the crash occurs in these cases:
1) check install for all category
2) check install individually for all categories but
not the all category
3) choose all package items individually
4) choose many package items individually, including
all development and interpreter packages
the crash does not occur and setup completes
successfully only in this case:
1) check default for all category
this is a complete archive downloaded from
http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/cygwin/.
in each case, all MD5 checks complete before the
Select Packages screen is presented.
i also have Setup.exe version 2.415.
this behaves in an almost identical fashion to 2.416,
although it crashes with a warning popup, as follows:
Runtime error!
Program: F:\cygwin\setup.exe
abnormal program termination
again, the crash occurs in
checking MD5 for _update-info-dir-00221-1
following the Select Packages screen.
again, the crash occurs in this case:
1) check install for all category
and not in this case:
1) check default for all category
however, i have used 2.415 successfully with my
previous archive snapshot from 12 months ago numerous
times.
how can setup crash when the md5 checks have
completed?
