To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Setup.exe problem from local directory Date: Tue, 9 Jul 2002 14:03:03 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-Id: (Tried to post this to cygwin-apps as requested by mailing list home page but cannot as this is a controlled list.) I've had a problem with the latest setup.exe V2.249.2.5 installing from local directory which I've never seen before and can't seem to get around: I downloaded several packages that I wanted to update into a local directory (as I always do) then run setup.exe - I selected all the packages to update - it then uninstalled the old versions OK BUT then tried to uninstall the new versions too! Of course it reported 'null' files for each and I ended up with all these packages uninstalled! Now rerunning setup it won't show any package in setup.ini except those I've already got installed so I can't select installation of any new packages. I presume some file in my cygwin area has been corrupted but I can't see what.
