Yes, in te meanwhile I looked a bit further and found out that that's precisely what happens. The corresponding message is: > 25-9-2014 10:54:05 Quarantined legal software that can be used by > criminals to damage your computer or personal data > PDM.Worm.P2P.generic C:\CYGWIN\SETUP-X86.EXE (I don't suppose there is a worm, but you might be interested in knowing about this false positive.) > As a result, there's very little we can do on this list to help you. > Normally I'd suggest looking at the setup.log file, but I very much > doubt that will tell us anything other than that the installer > suddenly stops running. Well, if I knew *where* (during with package install) this is triggered, it might still help circumvent the problem. I'm pretty sure this is deterministic. However, AFAIS no log file is generated - probably due to the abrupt termination. Can you suggest any way I can obtain a log? For instance, can I reroute logging to stdout? Unfortunately, the virus software configuration is set by university policy, I can't touch it myself :-( (though I am of course also trying to go that route). In any case, thanks for your reply and help. -- Arend Rensink University of Twente http://www.cs.utwente.nl/~rensink -- 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
