I have just received an Alienware laptop with Windows7.  I downloaded
and ran the current setup from website.  The install process will stop
at various stages, not always the same place.  By stop, I mean it looks
as if it is working, but it never proceeds past that point.  I believe
it does all the install stages, but will stop at different places after
the install.

A few times the install completed.  When testing those times, I would
run bash from Windows command line (just as the .bat file does).  Once I
got some memory error I can't recall.  The rest of the times I get the
Cygwin console opening, but goes away imediately without every
displaying a prompt.  All through this, not one error message.

My search on this issue showed a few people with simular problem.  One
had same issue with command line window opening and closing but was using
1.5 and their problem went away when they used 1.7.  I suspect the
problem is the install (even though it completed install a few times). 
I ran msconfig and removed all none Microsoft processes but still could
not get the install to complete.

Thank you for any suggestions.


Durwin
