Hello, It seems that the cygwin setup works fine on one of the machines I tried (windows 8.1). However on the other machine I have these issues (even on a fresh install). The other machine is a work machine (windows 7). I do not have access to the admin user, I run the install from my account. However, the machine has some software (possibly avecto) that lets me run it with what it calls admin privileges. Whenever I run setup it blocks on the 0p_000_autorebase.dash script and I have to kill the dash process for setup to finish. Is there any way for me to see the stdout/stderr of the script that setup is running?
