I'm having the same problem. Yes, I tried the only snapshot available (2.249.2.4), and it showed the same behavior. Here are the details: Setup 2.249.2.5 eats memory and hangs during Installation of some files. I'm simply trying to install the fvwm2 package that downloaded successfully. It appears some kind of infinite loop occurs during file extraction because setup appears to hang at "5%" done and in Task Manager the setup.exe process just keeps growing in memory. Specifically, this is what setup is unable to extract: XFree86-bin-4.2.0-2 /usr/X11R6/bin/appres.exe Additionally, clicking cancel to stop the installation leads to: 'The instruction at "0x00422334" referenced memory at "0x73755c6e". The memory could not be "read".' Clicking cancel on this box to debug and looking at the call stack in VS.NET reveals the following call stacks: thread 1: // thread that crashes setup.exe!00422334() setup.exe!0046b8be() setup.exe!0041ea1b() setup.exe!0040165a() setup.exe!0041ae6b() setup.exe!0041ca97() setup.exe!0041d796() setup.exe!0041dc7c() KERNEL32.DLL!_BaseThreadStart@8() + 0x52 thread 2: NTDLL.DLL!_ZwRaiseHardError@24() + 0xb KERNEL32.DLL!_UnhandledExceptionFilter@4() + 0x19c77 KERNEL32.DLL!_BaseProcessStart@4() + 0x4f53 thread 3 NTDLL.DLL!_NtQueryVirtualMemory@24() + 0xb KERNEL32.DLL!_ExitThread@4() + 0x75 KERNEL32.DLL!_BaseAttachComplete@4() + 0x38 KERNEL32.DLL!_BaseThreadStart@8() + 0x52 Any help?
