I visited http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe and downloaded the file to a
folder called c:\temp\cygwin on my WinXP system.
I ran it, selected the option to download installation files only (do not
actually install) and directed Cygwin to download the files to
c:\temp\cygwin
Selected my preferred mirror, and selected a FULL "install".
After all files were downloaded, I copied the c:\temp\cygwin directory to
a USB stick and put it in a system not connected to the Internet.
I copied the cygwin folder from the USB stick to c:\cygwin
I ran setup from c:\cygwin (i.e. the hard drive) and told it to perform a
local install.
At the end, while trying to run the post install scripts, it kept
complaining it could not find cygwin1.dll.
After acknowledging the error a few times, Cygwin presented the Congrats!
window and offered to put a cygwin shortcut on the desktop and my start
menu.
Why could it not install the cygwin1.dll? I've used cygwin for years,
and I think this is the first time I've come across this.
I did perform google searching on this, but found a couple messages from
2001 and 2003 that didn't really seem to help.
Thanks.
Scott
