Re: Windows Server 2008 64-bit setup.exe/bash problem
Hey all, was gone for a week.
I still can't get cygwin to install on Windows 2008 64-bit on Amazon... I
disabled DEP and turned on Vista compat but no love. Soon I'm going to
have to punt and buy some random ssh daemon and live without nice UNIX
utilities, but I thought I'd ask again if anyone has any thoughts? (Does
anyone have it working in a similar environment?)
If any cygwin guys want to actually debug it themselves, I can provide some
limited-time access to a temporary Amazon instance in an effort to help
brush up the project's 64-bit support...
Thanks,
Ernest

Another good suggestion... In 2008 there's not a Vista compatibility
option, but there are XP and Server 2003 options; I tried installing it
with XP compatibility set on setup.exe but still have the same problem, it
chokes on the postinstall scripts and generates bash stack dumps.
I tried the more "hardcore" method of turning off DEP as well;
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff. It is "Windows Server Datacenter
sp2" and does appear to have terminal services installed, so the DEP was a
good call too but turning it off doesn't appear to help.
Also, seeing some older posts, I tried running bash from C:\WINDOWS
\SYSWOW64\CMD.EXE instead but that doesn't help.
I did have McAfee on there but had turned it all off... I went ahead and
fully uninstalled it. Still the same problem.
