There's some kind of characteristic of Windows architecture which means that if you are trying to install Cygwin from a release stored on a local drive (or CD or as in your case a USB device) then the attempt will fail if setup.exe and setup.ini are located at H:/ and release/ is located at H:/release/. For reasons that I do not understand you have to bury the Cygwin release at least one directory deep on the device, such as H:/Cyg0/setup.exe H:/Cyg0/setup.ini H:/Cyg0/release/ Any name for the burial site will do. Any help? Fergus -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
