I followed the link you gave, and downloaded this file: http://cygwin.com/setup/snapshots/setup-2.562.exe It did not crash. It let me retrieve the package I wanted, then successfully updated that package: /cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache[0]$cygcheck -s -v -r |grep mingw-runtime mingw-runtime 3.11-1 /cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache[0]$./setup-2.562.exe /cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache[0]$cygcheck -s -v -r |grep mingw-runtime mingw-runtime 3.12-4 Let me point out two small things: (1) The initial screen says "Copyright 2000-2006"; should it say 2007 instead of 2006? (2) When I did "Download Without Installing" as a separate step to fetch this package, setup-2.562.exe terminated without showing the Cygwin Setup Download Complete OK messagebox I've grown accustomed to seeing. Is the lack of that messagebox a new feature? I mistook it for an abend; but, running it under gdb, everything looked okay even though the messagebox did not appear: /cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache[0]$gdb ./setup-2.562.exe GNU gdb 6.5.50.20060706-cvs (cygwin-special) [big snip] warning: .ini setup_version is 2.510.2.2, our setup_version is 2.562 warning: LOG: 2 note: Download Complete warning: LOG: 2 Ending cygwin install Program exited normally.
