It took a long > time to get to the end, which included many "Can't open (null) for reading: > No such file" dialogs along the way. Reinstall it using superadmin account and minimal set of packages for a start. > When it finally got close to > finishing, I got a dialog which just says: > "The program can't start because cygwin1.dll is missing from your computer." > I've searched for occurrences of this particular symptom, but I didn't see anything useful. > What's curious is that when I try to dismiss the dialog, it just redisplays. > Fortunately, it's not a modal dialog, so it lets me click "Cancel" on the > setup dialog. Also curiously, that doesn't even cause the "The program ..." > dialog to go away. Clicking OK at that point makes it go away. > I've tried this several times, with the same result. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdaemon@freemail.ru) 20.05.2012, <07:27> Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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
