But when setup was already running I realized that I forgott to change the name of the target directory. So I killed setup.exe with the help of the windows 2000 task manager. After that, I have been unable to rerun completely the setup procedure. When I run setup it asks all the rutinary questions, but when it starts with "Checking MD5 for aspell" it crashes and it doesn't continue the installation. I erased the target directory c:\cygwin and restarted the procedure but it failed too. I logged on in windows 2000 as another user and run setup with the same unsuccesful results. I erased all possible temporary files. I am feeling that maybe windows 2000 automatically sends now a kill signal to setup.exe whenever it runs (since that first time, when I killed it by hand). I installed some months ago cygwin succesfully on the same computer (Compaq Evo N160). So I am really lost about the present situation. Any help would be really appreciated.
