Hello Andy,

It was the version 2.712. I've just tried 2.721 and the same crash happens.

It crashes right after the opening of the progress page.

It crashes, when I try to downgrade at least one of the 3 packages.

When trying this, it crashes too.


New results:
- when clicking on the Exp radio button, I was able to uninstall these 3
  packages without crash
- when trying to install gcc4 (any version) again, setup.exe crashes
- when trying to uninstall gcc3, setup.exe crashes
- it seems, that it crashes now, whatever I do...

I attach the output of cygcheck -srv, hoping that it helps finding a
solution...

Peter
