I left the install running overnight....still no progress...Part of your problem is explained by this:Not Found: sh/etc/postinstall/00ash.sh tries to set up a working /bin/sh. If that fails, then everything else is suspect.
Upon inspection It is bash.exe (called within 00ash.sh) which crashes. I have created a strace for bash.exe which I have attached as a file. I have been unable to decipher eactly where this crashes.
Please note that i have edited the file to replace my Firstname and Lastname to be Firstname and Lastname.
Apparently its not cygcheck that crashes but id.exe:3 [main] id 2792 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 18910 [main] id 2792 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to id.exe.stackdump garbled output from `id' command - no uid= foundFiguring this out might help. Can you run 'strace -o strace.out id' and attach strace.out to your reply, to see if something obvious in id.exe or cygwin1.dll is reading bad memory? You may also want to try reinstalling coreutils, in case id.exe is corrupt.I have also checked my PATH and set it to the basic PATHs of windows only so as to make sure no similar commands are on the path (which didnt help).While not exactly wrong to change your PATH just before running cygcheck, it is a bit counterintuitive since part of cygcheck's purpose is to diagnose PATH problems in your current PATH.
I actually tried both ways. One with a minimal PATH and one with everything. The cygcheck output was the one without altering the full path.
Thanks for you help so far, Andrew
