Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2002 21:07:13 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 X-OriginalArrivalTime: 17 Oct 2002 01:07:13.0681 (UTC) FILETIME=[87092010:01C27579] Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by delorie.com id g9H17Sb14476 I agree. If you're not getting the /usr/bin directory then something is definitely wrong there w.r.t. the installation. Perhaps someone else here on the list can suggest something else to look at in terms of setup.exe. I suppose you could check to make sure that the cygwin package itself downloaded. But if it did, then there's something strange happening on that end that must be causing setup.exe to choke before it actually installs anything. Sorry, I don't have allot of ideas for debugging this.

Thanks. I think that for some reason, the required bin directory is not getting installed. I can't modify the .bat file unless I can find the directory it needs. - Jim Robertson lhall AT pop DOT ma DOT ultranet DOT com wrote: >Sorry, I'm not that good at interpreting setup log files.
