In the past, I have installed cygwin on several Windows XP systems with no problems.
However, I am encountering severe problems installing cygwin on vista. The installation process stalls quietly during the postinstall phase. The only way to end the process is to 'cancel'. No home diretory is created, no icons.
In principal, the /var/log/setup.log.full file should reveal what's going wrong. I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to interpret this file. So, I'm attaching it.
2007/10/25 09:38:53 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/email.sh /usr/bin/bash: /cygdrive/c/Users/francesca/.bashrc: Bad address sed: can't read /etc/passwd: No such file or directory 2007/10/25 09:38:56 abnormal exit: exit code=2 2007/10/25 09:38:56 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/enscript.sh /usr/bin/bash: /cygdrive/c/Users/francesca/.bashrc: Bad address 2007/10/25 09:38:56 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/exim.sh /usr/bin/bash: /cygdrive/c/Users/francesca/.bashrc: Bad address sed: can't read /etc/passwd: No such file or directory 2007/10/25 09:38:57 abnormal exit: exit code=2
To a knowledgeable person this may provide an indication of what's wrong.
