I've done some experimentation with setup with similar results, and can confirm that the hang depends on the environment from which setup is started. I see the cygpath hang (when reinstalling XFree86-bin-icons) in these cases: 1. Clicking on the setup.exe icon in Explorer 2. Clicking on a setup.exe shortcut icon in the desktop I don't see the hang if I start setup from any kind of command window. This includes: 1. A standard Microsoft command window. 2. A command window running bash. 3. An xterm window running bash. I don't see the hang if I start setup from a Cygwin session, or from a standard command window. 4. A .bat file, e.g. @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin setup -- 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/
