But a setup "bug" (probabl= y not setup.exe's fault) was discovered in the process. I first tried a re-install and once again was told cygwin1.dll could not be= replaced because of a running process (thought I had killed everything). R= ather than quit and start over, I pressed the continue button and re-booted= the laptop when the re-install completed. mount -p was STILL broken, so so= mething sure was amiss. Turned out I had cygserver and postgres via cygserv= er running. (Forgot about them). These services start automatically (along = with sshd) when Windows starts up. *ALSO* I have an XWin Server in the Star= tup folder of the Windows Start Menu. So apparently, one of these services = is starting up *BEFORE* the cygwin1.dll can be replaced by Windows at start= up. Weird. My laptop has an encrypted hard disk using SafeGuard. That might= have something to do with it. Anyhow, it's not a bug I have time to help c= hase down (unless someone else wants to take the lead on it - I'll be happy= to help in that case). Otherwise let this be a lesson to ALL - setup "best= practice" is to shut down ALL cygwin processes and services BEFORE running= setup.exe. Otherwise ... "your mileage may vary" ... -----Original Message----- >From: Brian Kelly >Sent: Aug 21, 2010 3:18 PM >To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com >Subject: Re: 1.7.6-1: mount -p and mount --show-cygdrive-prefix broken in = latest release > > >Funny - setup.exe shows I have 1.7.6. I'm re-installing now. I think I kno= w what happened. I had XWin running while doing the previous install, and t= he prompt occurred telling I couldn't overwrite certain files that were par= t of running processes. It told me I'd have to reboot - which was fine by m= e so I continued. Apparently something "fell down" in that whole train of e= vents, and when the reboot later occurred, the cygwin1.dll must not have be= en actually replaced.
