To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-IsSubscribed: yes Mailing-List: contact cygwin-help AT cygwin DOT com; run by ezmlm List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: , Sender: cygwin-owner AT cygwin DOT com Mail-Followup-To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Delivered-To: mailing list cygwin AT cygwin DOT com When I try to install the latest Cygwin 1.7.0-64 beta on Windows 7 (x86 RTM Enterprise build 7600), it downloads correctly, but then I get the error "Unable to extract /etc/ -- the file is in use." Previously, I was using Cygwin 1.5.25-14 on this machine. That installed perfectly the first time and worked normally. Before installing the 1.7 beta, I did the following: - Removed my old sshd service. (cygrunsrv --remove sshd) - Renamed the old Cygwin directory to hide it. - Restarted my machine. - Verified sshd service does not appear in Services. - Verified no Cygwin-related processes in task manager or Process Explorer. At this "In-use files detected" error message box, if I click Retry, it keeps coming up. If I click Continue, the progress window stays open and the progress bar flashes, but it makes no progress. In setup.log, the last error before it ends says, "io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/setup.rc) failed 22 Invalid argument". I'll paste the whole file at the bottom of this message. After setup failed using the defaults, I tried a few ideas I found searching this list and the web: - Installed for this user only (as well as Administrator install). - Ran setup as Administrator (as well as running normally). - Checked Process Explorer for anything that might be using a Cygwin DLL. Nothing. - Installed to different target paths. I tried c:\c\, c:\p\c\ and c:\Cygwin\. - Created a few of the directories ahead of time (i.e. c:\c\etc\, c:\c\home\, and so on). - Closed any other program that can't be closed. - Downloaded and then installed from Local Directory (as well as installing from Internet). Questions: - Is there any other information I can provide that would help somebody find the problem? - Is there anything else I should have done to completely uninstall 1.5? - Since it installed easily with 1.5 but it doesn't work at all with 1.7, could this be new problem with the 1.7 installer? I would greatly appreciate any assistance anyone is willing to provide.
