Yep, happens every time on My Vista 64b HP.

Yep, I've reported this before.

Also, 'cygcheck' still indicates that Vista is unsupported, and
AFAIK, that's no longer true.

AFAIK, there are certain Cygwin package (initial?) installs that
can't be accomplished on Vista (32b or 64b) without turning off
UAC (User Account Control).

See: Control Panel / User Accounts / Turn User Account Control On or Off
Reboot (What Microsoft OSs do best, or at least most frequently ;-))

Good luck, Mr. Phelps,
