I try to install cygwin 64 on a windows 7 PC in order to let users open
an X11 session via xlaunch on a linux server (gdm3).
I have selected only 3 components of X11 to complete the default
selection : xinit, xlaunch and Xorg server.
The installer seems to freeze when it executes /etc/postinstall/xlaunch.sh.
Information about the progression of the installation is blocked during
several minutes with 99% Cygwin - Setup
If I don't cancel the installation, it seems to finish correctly.
17:36:33 running: C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
"/etc/postinstall/xlaunch.sh"

Ending cygwin install
Is it a normal behaviour ?
Thanks for reporting this problem.
No, this is not normal or expected.
Perhaps you could manually run the postinstall script with 'sh -x
/etc/postinstall/xlaunch.sh.done' to see where it is getting stuck?
