I downloaded the Cygwin setup.exe and attempted to run it.
I first received an "Open File - Security Warning" dialog
box with the message "The publisher could not be verified.
Are you sure you want to run this software. ... ". I then
clicked on the "Run" button and received the message
"C:\Documents and Settings\David\Application
Data\Cygwin\setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application." in
a dialog box with an "OK" button only.
I would appreciate any suggestions you can provide. Thank
you for your help.
So you're running Vista then?
Try downloading it again. I just did so and it ran fine. Cygwin's
'setup.exe' is a valid Win32 application. If that doesn't work, make
sure you're running it with administrator privileges.
