G'Day,

I have problems updating to the new version of binutils.

When I install I get messages about 'unknown (or supported) file `t'' 
when trying to install 'strip.exe'. Then there is a message about 
'moving directory "c:\cygwin" out of the way' and 'unable to write to 
file C:/cygwin'

These message is then repeated with many different values for `t', 
including strings of none ASCII characters.  It would seem as if the 
contents of the tar file are corrupt.

I have tried uring 3 different mirrors but same error occurs. I am using 
setup version 2.78.2.9.

I am using NT 2K SP 2 with all the latest and greatest updates

Any ideas please?

Many thanks
