We are attempting to use setup.exe to update our previously working Cygwin installation. The download completes but the installation hangs at 25% on the following: Installing mingw-runtime-3.12-4 /usr/include/mingw/assert.h After half an hour hanging at this point, the following appear in a Windows box: "Dr. Watson Postmortem Debugger has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost." The error report gave the following information, in case it's of any use to you: EventType: BEX P1: drwtsn32.exe P2: 5.1.2600.0 P3: 3b7d84a2 P4: dbghelp.dll P5: 5.1.2600.2180 P6: 4110969a P7: 0001295d P8: c0000409 P9: 00000000 At this point, the screen is frozen, and the Task Manager indicates that the Cygwin installation is not responding. I have a couple of suspicions: (1) I also installed MINGW directly on the computer. Maybe the Cygwin/MINGW and the main MINGW are interacting badly. (2) Maybe there Cygwin services running that are interfering with the update. We used cygrunsrv to stop sshd which was the only service that we thought we were running. (3) We have occasionally used the command-line program cyg-apt to update and install. Maybe this has fouled the database. Our failed update seems to have messed up other parts of cygwin. We can no longer start sshd with 'cygrunsrv --start sshd' and we can't seem to locate ssh-host-config We have attempted to select "skip" for mingw in setup.exe, but this doesn't affect the hang described above. Advice welcome.
