After updating to setup-x86_64.exe version 2.875 I can't use install paths longer than 15 chars and error is throwed:
> The install directory must be absolute, with both a drive letter and > leading slash, like C:\Cygwin Below are the contents of setup.log.full: > 2016/08/31 19:09:26 Starting cygwin install, version 2.875 > 2016/08/31 19:09:26 User has NO backup/restore rights > 2016/08/31 19:09:26 Current Directory: > E:\PortableApps\CygwinPortable64\packages > 2016/08/31 19:09:26 Could not open Service control manager > 2016/08/31 19:09:29 source: network install > 2016/08/31 19:09:30 mbox note: The install directory must be absolute, with > both a drive letter and leading slash, like C:\Cygwin > 2016/08/31 19:11:31 Ending cygwin install I've double checked and this issue doesn't exist with 2.872. I don't remember it also with 2.873 and 2.874 (I can't check those versions right now, because after update I have only additional copy of 2.872). I tried to attach cygcheck.out, but then my e-mails were rejected with such message: > 552 spam score exceeded threshold -- Jacek Sowiński -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
