I downloaded the Vim package (I always download and then install and keep all the packages mirrored locally), re-ran the installer in "Install from Local Directory" mode and set all the packages listed as requiring installation to "Skip" except the new Vim package. After installing just the new Vim and re-running the installer in "Install from Local Directory" mode again, it still lists every package (except Vim, of course) as requiring installation. By the way, my setup.ini, setup.log and setup.log.full files were not missing. In fact, I looked at them and they're not obviously malformed or truncated. Any other ideas? I suppose I'll just have to go ahead re-install everything and hope nothing is perturbed. Randall Schulz At 09:56 2001-10-14, Steven E.
