Aloha,

Periodically, when I try to update Cygwin with setup.exe the process
hangs and requires a `cancel' to stop.  Often after this setup crashes
on subsequent runs after all the various startup questions and leaves
nothing in setup.log or setup.log.full to debug with.

Is there a way to fix this without a complete uninstall?

(setup.exe version 2.573.2.2 and quite a few previous.  A number of
different machines running XP and Win2k.)


Thanks,

Richard
