These look to me like they could be indicating a download issue. Unfortunately, the message doesn't provide allot of insight into the particular package 'setup.exe' thinks is incomplete/invalid. I'd recommend removing your download directory and trying again. If the problem persists, try multiple mirrors 1 at a time, removing the download directory with each attempt. If it still occurs, you may need to investigate if you have a proxy that's cached some bad data. You should be able to rule that in or out by removing the download directory again and picking a mirror that you've never tried before. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
