So, just in case this isn't clear, your problem didn't require any reinstallations. It required research. That is the case 99% of the time but the Windows superstition is that reinstallation will somehow solve problems. While it may be vaguely possible that a wipe and reinstallation will act as a brute force fix for some cygwin setup.exe installation problem, most of the time you should be able to solve problems without repeated installations. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
