Re: update/reinstall openssh problem

Hi - I'm trying to upgrade my currently installed openssh
(version 4.6p1-1) yet whenever I select to install the latest
4.7p1-2 (or even reinstall the current 4.6) the setup.exe
(or updater if you will) barfs on the 'Uninstalling...  openssh'
portion and dies with a windows

  ''setup.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We
    are sorry for the inconvenience.''

with the familiar 3 buttons - "debug" (which does nothing), "Send
Error Report", and "Don't Send".

Can someone please let me know if this is a known issues and/or how
to debug/fix this problem.  I don't have ssh running as a service
or an application when I do this "update" so I'm not entirely sure
why openssh can't be uninstalled easily.


You can try downloading a debug version of 'setup.exe' from
<http://cygwin.com/setup/snapshots/> with it's source (tar.bz).
With this, you can run it under 'gdb' to see if that provides more
insight.
