Finally I have resolved the cause of the problem. I used to have /tmp mounted from ramdisk (Z:) and that caused the setup.exe to crash after download when it started installing of packages. I used a ramdisk as /tmp because it cleans the /tmp every time the system boots and I did not need any cleaning scripts running from cron. /Janne K Edelman -- 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/
