Hello,
I've built 'setup.exe', following the instructions on http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/setup.html.
Is this version, 2.293, the newest available ? Is it normal that the file
reaches a size of 9'882'581 bytes, against 171008 bytes of the download
version ? Did I anything wrong (again) ?
I've renamed my c:\cygwin directory to c:\cywin_tmp to simulate a system
without Cygwin and I ran the application : trying to download the packages,
it crashes when I reach the 'Select Packages' frame and I click on 'default'
next to '+All' : "... memory cannot be 'read'"
If I run the application without having renamed the c:\cygwin directory,
it doesn't crash, but it's impossible to download a whole distro (I've click
choosen 'Install' next to '+All' : only _update-info-dir, gnupg, pine and
setup are downloaded)
What's going on ???
