ok The problem is resolved.. Actually I was copying folder from one hard-drive to another in DOS mode.so what happened .....all filenames and foldernames more than 6 characters were renamed.. e.g. libgpg-error folder was renamed to LIBGPG~1 and libgpg-error-1.0-2.tar.bz2 file renamed to LIBGPG~1.BZ2. hence the setup was not detecting all packages... Now if u dont mind I just want ask whether this problem can be fixed??? I mean if files and folders are renamed by DOS system itself , then our setup.exe should detect them also ??? Sorry if its silly question....
