I have just received an Alienware laptop with Windows7. I downloaded
and ran the current setup from website. The install process will stop
at various stages, not always the same place. By stop, I mean it looks
as if it is working, but it never proceeds past that point. I believe
it does all the install stages, but will stop at different places after
the install.
A few times the install completed. When testing those times, I would
run bash from Windows command line (just as the .bat file does). Once I
got some memory error I can't recall. The rest of the times I get the
Cygwin console opening, but goes away imediately without every
displaying a prompt. All through this, not one error message.
My search on this issue showed a few people with simular problem. One
had same issue with command line window opening and closing but was using
1.5 and their problem went away when they used 1.7. I suspect the
problem is the install (even though it completed install a few times).
I ran msconfig and removed all none Microsoft processes but still could
not get the install to complete.
Thank you for any suggestions.
Durwin
