I hope that this isn't going to be the solution to the problem of setup.exe finding non-setup.exe setup.ini files. Although I don't think that I will make this mistake again, I expect that it will happen to future users who are not reading this list today. Also, I'd like to suggest that when setup.exe finds syntax errors in a setup.ini file, it log those messages in a file so that the messages can be used in reporting problems with setup.exe. I've been unable to cut&paste the text from the windows that list the parsing errors. -mark -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
