All I can think of is that it is proprietary software that I don't own and Mr. McAfee is in South America somewhere.

While running 'setup.exe' from a Cygwin shell may require you to reboot before you see the results of your update, if you are going to do this, you should at least use '/' instead of '\' for path separators. Better yet, use POSIX path notation. Alternatively, run 'setup.exe' directly from an elevated cmd.exe instance if you prefer DOS path syntax. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- 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
