Dave, I tried running this snapshot setup with the -q option, and it still
halted when it encountered a dialog box. (in this case it was an "entry point
not found error as explained below)
While running this test, I encountered an interesting race condition:
If I am updating on a box that has "in use" files, and cygwin1.dll cannot be
replaced, when postinstall scripts try to run they generate all kinds of errors
because SOME of the new binaries DID install and when it tries to run them they
FAIL because they are not supported by the CURRENT .dll.
How do you get around this situation?
I guess the obvious answer is to make sure NO cygwin related processes are
running when you run setup. But I was hoping it would just schedule the files
for replacement and do it on the next reboot.
