My OS is Win2k SP 2. I have downloaded the latest version of setup.exe (2.510.2.2) and stored it into C:\cyginstall. I started the installation with administrator rights. Then I went through the installation choosing: - Installation from Internet - C:\cygwin as root path - Install for all users - Textfile type: Unix/binary - Internet Connection: Direct Connection - A mirror near to me: http://linux.rz.tuhr-uni-bochum.de - I did not change the package settings and wanted to make a default installation The download process worked well an the installation began. After the installation I decided to add a desktop icon and double clicked on it. The dos box told me that it can't change the directory und can't find bash.exe :(, so I looked into the C:\cygwin directory. The only installed directories are: etc, lib, sbin, usr, var. And the files: cygwin.bat and cygwin.ico. There is no bin directory! The setup.log file is full of the complaining listed below (... means that the message above appears more than once). I hope you can help me. Many thanks in advance!
