Cygwin 1.3.10 Setup.exe 2.194.2.22 Install Problems With MSVCRT.DLL and source code on Win98


Two major problems (summary):

1. Setup.exe (2.194.2.22) ends with a invalid page fault against MSVCRT.DLL
(details below) on my Windows 98 machine, before complely fininshing the
install.

2. I cannot install source files for any packages (using same setup.exe).
When installing source code, I get "Can't open (null) for reading: No such
file" error.

Questions:

1.  I had installed the same version of Cygwin with the same setup.exe on a
box running NT 4.0, and had no problems.  However, on the NT box, a
post-install script was ran after creating the icons and startup groups.  On
this failed install I have on Windows 98, I never have a post-install script.
Is that supposed to happen on Cygwin on a Win98 system?  Is Cygwin safe to run
if I am supposed to have the post-install script, but because of the failure
the script does not run?

2.  How do I install source code with the current setup.exe?  I have not been
able to figure out how.  Is it possible with this setup.exe? (I could not
install source on the NT box either.  No error other than the "Can't open
(null) for reading: No such file" error, the same on the Win98 box).

Details:

When installing Cywin 1.3.10 with setup.exe 2.194.2.22, I can never completely
finish an install without getting an invalid page fault right after hitting
"FINISH" on the dialog box that has the checkboxes for putting a shortcut on
the desktop and in a program group.

I do not get a cycwin.bat shortcut on the desktop, nor a program group for
Cygwin.  I also do not get a post-install script like I did on an NT box using
the same setup.exe.

I can also not install any source code.

Thank you for the help.

==============================================================================
Test Case/Results: (very repeatable)

Computer: Asus P2B-F with Pentium-3 450MHz, 256MB ram, running Windows 98
v4.10.1998.

1.  Download "Install Cygwin Now!" from http://www.cygwin.com
2.  Save setup.exe (2.194.2.22).
3.  Run setup.exe
4.  Choose download from internet.
5.  Choose directory where files are to be stored.
6.  Choose Internet connection of "Direct Connection"
7.  Choose mirror of ftp://mirrors.rcn.net
8.  Setup downloads setup.ini
9.  Hit the view button till full is displayed.
10. Hit all "Skip"s under "New" column till version is displayed.
11. Check all binaries and source boxes.
12. Setup.exe downloads all files successfully (but in a long
    path called
    ftp%3a%2f%2fmirrors.rcn.net%2fmirrors%2fsources.redhat.com%2fcygwin, which
    translated, gives
    ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhar.com/cygwin
13. Close all programs using task manager except for explorer and systray.
14. Close all programs in the task bar by the clock.
15. Run setup.exe
16. Choose Install from Local Directory
17. Choose root directory for cygwin=E:\cygwin, with Install For=All Users and
    Default Text File Type=Unix.
18. Select Local Package directory:
    D:\Download3\Software\Cygwin_1.3.10\Install
19. Hit Next when at package selection page.
20. Copies fine to E:\cygwin.
21. Comes up with dialog box asking if I want the desktop icon and/or Startup
    group in Start Menu.  i check both, and I hit Finish.
22. I get illegal operation, and will shut down the setup.exe app.
23. After hitting close, i have no desktop icon and no startup group.
24. I do have cygwin.bat in E:\cygwin, as well as cygwin.ico.
25. I also have no setup.log in the E:\cygwin directory, or any directories
    underneath.

    If I try to do an install from the internet directly, I get the same
    results.

    Also, if I attempt to install source code, for each source code I attempt
    to install, I get a "Can't open (null) for reading: No such file" for each
    package that I selected source code on.
