I reproduce this problem by running setup.exe and it hangs every time, like I said. I am running the most recent versions of everything, like I said (setup says cygwin 1.5.7-1). As I said, it happens on WinXP boxes; I haven't seen it on my Win2K boxes. I've attached setup.log. Yes, I saw http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg01166.html when I was browsing the archives. Michael Robbert (from my first referenced thread) has just told me he might have the time to work on this; I do not. I was just hoping to get lucky and find a quick fix. Cheers, Glenn P.S. "Flaky" is a vague description, but accurate. When running cygwin.bat sometimes the bash prompt appears, sometimes not, sometimes it opens in /usr/bin, sometimes in $HOME, sometimes ssh works, sometimes it doesn't; etc. Setup.exe has put the system into an unstable (i.e., flaky) state.
