I'm having the same problem, only on Vista.
Visual Studio Debugger reports: Unhandled exception at 0x004ac7e3 in setup.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x01a1ff3c. Event Viewer says: Faulting application setup.exe_unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x46821e21, faulting module setup.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x46821e21, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000ac7e3, process id 0x12a8, application start time 0x01c858701d7a3b44. Note: setup.exe reports its version as 2.573.2.2 I installed an older version of setup (2.510.2.2) from another box and it worked just fine. - Alan -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
