Thanks, Harry. Since I have so many machines that need installed it is probably better if I just have a way to uninstall and reinstall. I've been doing this using WiX. I need to get the WiX install to succeed 100% of the time and right now it's not. About 25% of the installs end up with this fork:retry issue. -- 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
