I posted this a few days ago. The problem still exists and I 
actually can't find the post when I search the mailing list 
so I think somehow it may have gotten lost in the ether.

I am trying to install Cygwin 1.3.15-1 with PCR-tools on Win98 SE 
using setup.exe 2.249.2.5 off http://cygwin.com. I have tried both 
installing from the internet and installing from local directory. 
One of two problems occurs, depending on which method I use.

When installing from the internet: When the download has progressed 
to 99% and it is about to install the installation reports and error 
and stops.

When installing from local directory: I am able to get through the 
package selection dialogue. It progresses to the installation dialogue 
and then reports a stack fault in KERNEL32.DLL. 

A directory structure c:\cygwin\ is created with several folder and 
four files. The files that are installed are:

C:\cygwin\var\run\utmp - it is blank when viewed with notepad
C:\cygwin\etc\setup\timestamp - when viewed with notepad "1036305608"
C:\cygwin\etc\setup\ash.lst.gz - When viewed with winzip it has no 
contents
C:\cygwin\etc\setup\last-cahe - When viewed with notepad simply says 
"C:\install"


Prior to the stack fault the setup window says:

Installing
ash-200220731-1
/bin/sh.exe

The status bars show no progression.

The stack fault details show:

SETUP caused a stack fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 017f:bff7429f.

I have searched the mailing list and google, and read the faq. I have 
tried the following things:

(1) Turning off Norton Anti Virus

(2) Installing using this file setup-2.259.2.4.exe from 
http://www.cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/

(3) Searching for an older version of setup.exe

(4) Visiting microsoft.com to learn more about stack faults in 
KERNEL32.DLL (nothing useful there)

(5) Moving the downloaded files to a folder that does not contain 
escape characters in its name

(6) Trying different server options for the download

(7) Avoiding changing package options (after reading a post suggesting 
that a bug cuases setup to crash when options are changed at the 
package 
picker dialogue for the first installation of cygwin.


Nothing I have tried has worked. Any help would be much 
appreciated.

Best regards,
Xenicus Starr
