Subject: RE: install process hangs on when run under windows 98 (using set

I have tried to run cygwin following a reboot after a hung install and think
I may have found something that may help :

Cygwin runs fine - I get a shell prompt (after creating a home dir for me) I
try and run mkgroup (either mkgroup or mkgroup -?) and I get a message in
the shell window :

BASH: /usr/bin/mkgroup: permission denied

and a dialogue box which is titled error starting program saying :

MKGROUP.EXE is linked to missing export ADVAPI32.DLL:LsaClose

I click on OK and cygwin shell seems ok still - I can enter other commands
and exit fine.

I checked my system and the DLL is in c:\windows\system from the properties
file version tab I have the version 4.80.1675 of the DLL on my system.

Hope this helps,

Mark

Thanks. You've got win9x don't you? I need someone else on this list who has
9x to confirm that the default content of the 'group' file should be empty.
(I don't think it should be.

All the postinstall files show as completed (they've been renamed to
foo.done). This is probably due to the failing .dll location, which setup
won't detect. IOW we haven't managed to test the problem you experienced yet
:[.

I think that a corrupt setup.ini has been released, as there was another
report of a missing cygwin package just earlier today. I haven't looked into
this yet, but will do so soon.

Rob
