Actually there are many reports, its not just vim, similar reports have been made about ssh, and checking for un-installed updates showed other cases. setup.exe just leaves .exe.new (or .dll.new) and the change never happens. It may have been one of the old versions of setup, I don't know, some upgrades do happen correctly when an old one is still there, and left there. --=20 Ren=C3=A9 Berber -- 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
