This has been discussed numerous times on this list. What I did was follow the directions of one of the posts here to start a bash session by typing bash at a dos prompt, doing a ps, and kill -9 of the process that is tagged 'cygpath' or 'cygpth' (one of these).
Also, it has been recently recommended to run setup.exe from a dos prompt or bash session, not from Win. Attached is the message with the instruction above. Hope this helps. Barry Drake --- "G.

Hi all, I've just installed cygwin on my new machine (WOO HOO Finally) - install from local directory, package files were downloaded yesterday morning (UK), install everything. The post install scripts hung as above, but instead of cancelling the install, I decided to see if I could just do enough to free up the issue. I went into the bin directory under the new installation, and ran bash.exe with a double click. No paths seemed to be set up, so to run ps I had to use ./ps but here is what I saw... bash-2.05b$ ./ps PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND 1260 1 1260 1260 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/sh 4004 1260 1260 4004 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/sh I 1876 4004 1260 1876 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/bash 2172 1876 1260 2172 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/bash 412 2172 1260 412 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/cygpath 2732 1 2732 2732 con 11125 10:40:49 /usr/bin/bash 3444 2732 3444 3356 con 11125 10:41:21 /usr/bin/ps As I thought the cygpath looked a little out of place, I ran ps again to ensure it was still there... bash-2.05b$ ./ps PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND 1260 1 1260 1260 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/sh 4004 1260 1260 4004 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/sh I 1876 4004 1260 1876 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/bash 2172 1876 1260 2172 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/bash 412 2172 1260 412 con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/cygpath 2732 1 2732 2732 con 11125 10:40:49 /usr/bin/bash 3496 2732 3496 3468 con 11125 10:41:23 /usr/bin/ps And then killed it... bash-2.05b$ kill -9 412 The setup continued and seems to have completed successfully. Everything seems to be working OK. I thought I'd send in this report in case it's of use tracking down the issue.
