I'm trying to install Cygwin on a Windows XP machine, but the install
hangs every time with these symptoms:
* The installation makes it to about 97%
* The window says that the install is running some post-install shell
script (I've seen coreutils.sh and update-dir-info.sh)
* Task Manager shows nothing running (System Idle Process is at 99%
usage)
* Both shell scripts contain a call to 'system-info', which shows up
in
Task Manager
I was unable to kill install-info.exe from Task Manager, so I had to
kill sh.exe instead. After I did that, the installation finished, but
I'm worried that something important got skipped.
The logfile doesn't have anything useful:
...

/etc/postinstall/tar.sh
2007/07/02 10:00:37 abnormal exit: exit code=0

2007/07/02 10:00:37 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c
/etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh
2007/07/02 10:10:58 mbox note: Installation Complete
2007/07/02 10:11:01 Ending cygwin install
Anyone have any ideas?
