(.../2004-06/msg00206.html > again) I'm trying to replicate the packages in an existing install, so I basically select Re-install rather than individually selecting packages. Manually identifying each package is possible, of course, but that will go on a to-do list for a longer time. Trying to find alternatives to that first. > (D) FAQ material? The relevant question seems to be "2.13. What if setup fails?". The answer is the check the setup.log, which I've done. Nothing there except an error provided to the user. One thing I will do is see if the recorded entries match the order of the packages in cygcheck. If so, and if the error happens at/during the last package, then I assume that all is well, and that your suggestion (B) would be easy to follow up on.
