If this is a common occurrence (installing but bypassing setup.exe somehow), then maybe it should finish by adding a registry entry to say it did the install (and whether partial or full), so that problem reports that include the system info would let you know this. Perhaps even a bug reporting script that asked the questions you want answered, and ran cygcheck etc. (basically, automating as much of the http://cygwin.com/problems.html procedure as far as possible), might be worthwhile. If people think it's a good idea, I might have a go at one this weekend. luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
