Re: Is setup.exe _supposed_ to delete the cygwin dll before attempting to run shell scripts?

This is more likely to be the culprit -- postinstall scripts are run after

this has been discussed on cygwin-apps some time ago.

Couldn't this be trivially solved by running all preremove scripts in a batch, before actually beginning to delete files?


Any flaw to that reasoning?

I guess I should now go and see how hard that would be to make happen...

Max.
