Igor,
Earlier I was using setup.exe version 2.510.2.2. I updated and tried both
version 2.521 and 2.523, with no success. I use "Direct Connection," not IE5
settings. Are you able to repeat my error on your system?
Here is a detailed explanation of what I was doing:
I bought a new computer and need to install cygwin from scratch. The first
time I ran the setup.exe, everything worked fine, and I spent about 10
minutes going through all the modules, copying my old configuration. When I
finally had all that I wanted, I hit "next." an error came up telling me the
connection was lost. From then on, every attempt to load setup.bz2 gave me
the "...unexpected $undefined..." error. The weird thing is that on my old
computer and my co-workers computer, both having a working version of
cygwin, the same problem occurs.
Attatched is setup.log.full (not very helpful, but maybe you can find a
hint?)
