I posted this a few days ago. The problem still exists and I actually can't find the post when I search the mailing list so I think somehow it may have gotten lost in the ether.
I am trying to install Cygwin 1.3.15-1 with PCR-tools on Win98 SE using setup.exe 2.249.2.5 off http://cygwin.com. I have tried both installing from the internet and installing from local directory. One of two problems occurs, depending on which method I use. When installing from the internet: When the download has progressed to 99% and it is about to install the installation reports and error and stops. When installing from local directory: I am able to get through the package selection dialogue. It progresses to the installation dialogue and then reports a stack fault in KERNEL32.DLL. A directory structure c:\cygwin\ is created with several folder and four files. The files that are installed are: C:\cygwin\var\run\utmp - it is blank when viewed with notepad C:\cygwin\etc\setup\timestamp - when viewed with notepad "1036305608" C:\cygwin\etc\setup\ash.lst.gz - When viewed with winzip it has no contents C:\cygwin\etc\setup\last-cahe - When viewed with notepad simply says "C:\install" Prior to the stack fault the setup window says: Installing ash-200220731-1 /bin/sh.exe The status bars show no progression. The stack fault details show: SETUP caused a stack fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 017f:bff7429f. Registers: EAX=817f32e4 CS=017f EIP=bff7429f EFLGS=00000283 EBX=01312054 SS=0187 ESP=01312008 EBP=01312038 ECX=d55b4e10 DS=0187 ESI=01312087 FS=651f EDX=bffc9490 ES=0187 EDI=0000001d GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: eb 95 8b 54 24 04 50 e8 04 00 00 00 58 c2 04 00 Stack dump: bff741f7 bffc9490 bff7cdf9 bffc9490 00000001 01312087 013121b4 01312030 00000000 01312089 00000001 bffc9002 01312058 bff7ceed 01312087 00000104 I have searched the mailing list and google, and read the faq. I have tried the following things: (1) Turning off Norton Anti Virus (2) Installing using this file setup-2.259.2.4.exe from http://www.cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/ (3) Searching for an older version of setup.exe (4) Visiting microsoft.com to learn more about stack faults in KERNEL32.DLL (nothing useful there) (5) Moving the downloaded files to a folder that does not contain escape characters in its name (6) Trying different server options for the download (7) Avoiding changing package options (after reading a post suggesting that a bug cuases setup to crash when options are changed at the package picker dialogue for the first installation of cygwin. Nothing I have tried has worked. Any help would be much appreciated.
