I removed the burnatonce software and tried to reinstall Cygwin, but after 90% I get the same problem, i.e. I first get a warning message (see http://homepage.ntlworld.com/herb.eppel_new/temp/CygwinWarn1.jpg),
This is no prblem and no error, just follow the hint displayed.
immediately followed by an error message (see http://homepage.ntlworld.com/herb.eppel_new/temp/CygwinErr1.jpg), after which CygwinSetup.exe crashes.
The package database is written to /etc/setup, do you have permisson on this directory?
I have to admit that I didn't actually uninstall the previous failed installation of Cygwin as recommended by Larry Hall (with link to http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_toc.html#TOC19). Presumably that's what I have to actually do befor the installation can complete successfully?
Is there anything else I should be aware of at this stage?
