I found the following version of shlwapi.dll on my system: $ ls -l /d/winnt/servicepackfiles/i386/shlwapi.dll -rwx------+ 1 Administ None 289552 Jun 19 12:05 /d/winnt/servicepackfiles/i386/shlwapi.dll $ cygcheck /d/winnt/servicepackfiles/i386/shlwapi.dll D:/winnt/servicepackfiles/i386/shlwapi.dll D:/winnt/servicepackfiles/i386\GDI32.DLL D:/winnt/servicepackfiles/i386\NTDLL.DLL D:/winnt/servicepackfiles/i386\KERNEL32.DLL D:/winnt/servicepackfiles/i386\USER32.DLL D:/winnt/servicepackfiles/i386\ADVAPI32.DLL D:/winnt/servicepackfiles/i386\RPCRT4.DLL and there is no msvcrt dependence with this earlier version. Does this fit with the hanging symptoms? i.e. if your postinstall hangs, have you installed W2K SP4, or is your shlwapi dependent on msvcrt, or is this just a red herring? -- Cliff -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
