In-Reply-To: <2ee494c.7ceda49d.819a800@mirapointms2.wayne.edu> Message-ID: Importance: Normal MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-ID: 1) Tools like regedt32 (on Win2k/XP) or regedit (on Win9x and NT) should let you remove the offending registry keys. Another possibility is to find Cygwin's "umount.exe" on your hard drive (if it's still there) and run "umount -A -c". 2 and 3) This is really weird. You have selected "Network Install", but the setup log just stops abruptly in the middle of a download... Which version of setup are you using? Can you try the latest snapshot from and report the results? If you still have "cygcheck.exe" around, could you also please run it and post the output?
