I wonder if DEP is enabled on this machine? That can cause those kinds of massive failures. Matthijs, can you try disabling DEP in "system properties->advanced->performance options" (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc700810.aspx for info) and then run setup.exe again, only in "install from local directory" mode; set everything to reinstall on the package chooser screen and see if it completes successfully this time? > This also pinged my curiosity in setup.log: > > 2010/04/06 13:27:37 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/extrakeys) > failed 2 No such file or directory > 2010/04/06 13:27:37 io_stream_cygfile: > fopen(/etc/setup/chooser_window_settings) failed 2 No such file or > directory > > I wonder if this is UAC getting in the way? Don't see any reason to assume it's anything other than that those files genuinely didn't exist. First run on a fresh installation and all that. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
