Hi everyone, I'm having some trouble getting Cygwin x86_64 to install. Whenever I try to install it says "Mount - Access is Denied". When I click OK it just closes.
I'm starting setup with the -B parameter, because I simply want it to install to a directory and not touch any OS settings. I have tried many other tricks but it always says "Mount / Access is Denied". I have even tried using x86 only version, but it fails exactly the same way. I examined setup.log and setup.log.full and there's nothing really useful there. Only thing "more or less" useful is it says it is trying to open Service Control Manager and it fails, but that's pretty much expected… Anyways, files attached below: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- setup.log: 2014/03/08 02:23:04 Starting cygwin install, version 2.844 2014/03/08 02:23:04 User has NO backup/restore rights 2014/03/08 02:23:04 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/setup.rc) failed 2 No such file or directory 2014/03/08 02:23:04 Current Directory: C:\Temp 2014/03/08 02:23:04 Could not open Service control manager 2014/03/08 02:23:07 source: from local dir 2014/03/08 02:23:10 root: C:\cygwin64 system 2014/03/08 02:23:19 Selected local directory: C:\Temp\Cygwin64 2014/03/08 02:23:19 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/installed.db) failed 2 No such file or directory 2014/03/08 02:23:20 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/timestamp) failed 2 No such file or directory 2014/03/08 02:23:44 Ending cygwin install ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- setup.log.full: 2014/03/08 02:23:04 Starting cygwin install, version 2.844 2014/03/08 02:23:04 User has NO backup/restore rights 2014/03/08 02:23:04 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/setup.rc) failed 2 No such file or directory 2014/03/08 02:23:04 Current Directory: C:\Temp 2014/03/08 02:23:04 Could not open Service control manager 2014/03/08 02:23:07 source: from local dir 2014/03/08 02:23:10 root: C:\cygwin64 system 2014/03/08 02:23:19 Selected local directory: C:\Temp\Cygwin64 Found ini file - C:\Temp\Cygwin64/http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirror.constant.com%2f/x86_64/setup.ini 2014/03/08 02:23:19 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/installed.db) failed 2 No such file or directory 2014/03/08 02:23:20 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/timestamp) failed 2 No such file or directory 2014/03/08 02:23:44 Ending cygwin install ------------------------------------------------------------------------ My OS is Windows 8.1 x64.
