The reason for my believing that, in turn, was this: an installation window was hidden behind another window. I wonder whether other users are likely to encounter or have encountered that problem. (I have Cygwin . . actually, I can't tell what version I've got. But I downloaded it just now from your website.) 2) A 100MB file has appeared on my desktop. Is this part of the installation? You will understand that I do not want to leave the folder there. What should I do, please? 3) Integration with the program 'ConEmu' is meant to happen automatically, I believe. However, it has not happened automatically for me and I do not know how to set up the integration. 4) Discovering how to send to the list was hard, involving as it did reading through large web pages and splicing the relevant information therein with information from the first e-mail I received from the list. ('How do I subscribe', I wondered? And: 'Am I subscribed?) Mutatis mutandis for discovering how to do some other things. You should bear in mind, it seems to me, that some people who wish to install your software wish to use only basic functionality and do not want to spend a couple of hours achieving it. Yours Nicholas PS: My output from 'cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out' is at https://pastebin.com/7qmSPyns. (I wasn't expecting a home folder to be created in my Windows user directory, so it took me a while to find that output file.) -- 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
