In Sep 2012 we tried installing cygwin with the then latest setup.exe
version 2.573.2.2 on a new Windows 2008 Server (x64) and the
installation hung at 98%.
Yesterday Feb 12 2013 we downloaded the latest cygwin DLL setup.exe (1.7.17-1)
1.7.17-1 is the cygwin dll package
setup is 2.774
Prior to running the install on a Windows Server 2008 server we
cleaned the registry of prior cygwin entries and turned off virus
checking.
The issue is still with us in Feb 2013.
The latest install is:
Cygwin setup.exe version : 2.774 (As reported in Setup.log)
Cygwin DLL version : 1.7.17-1 (As stated on cywin.com home page)
Cygwin DLL version : 1.5.25 (As reported by cygcheck -s)
than you are installing the old legacy or mixing the two things
or you have an old copy installed
try to find all cygwin1.dll on your full harddisk
size of 1.7.17 version is 2858355
However, cygcheck -s -v -r outputs (see below) this as the first
cygcheck -s -v -r output should be added as attachment not in line with
the mail...
1829k 2007/12/14 c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0
"cygwin1.dll" v0.0 ts=2007/12/14 13:22
Cygwin DLL version info:
DLL version: 1.5.25
this is clearly the old legacy cygwin dll that does not run on WS2008
