Re: problem updating to dash 0.5.6.1-2

Running `setup.exe`, to update dash from 0.5.6.1-1 to 0.5.6.1-2,

Unable to extract /usr/share/doc/dash/ChangeLog -- the file is in use.
Please stop all Cygwin processes and select "Retry", or select
"Continue" to go on anyway (you will need to reboot).

No Cygwin window is open, and no process reported by Task Manager appears relevant, except setup itself. So I see no Cygwin process to stop. Pressing "Continue" leads to hanging while displaying:

Installing
dash-0.5.6.1-2
/usr/share/doc/dash/ChangeLog

My guess is the "Logitech Process Monitor service" listed in the "Potential app conflicts" section of your cygcheck output. Uninstall this and try again.
