RE: cygwin64 - installation problem - installed by administrator account


The scripts live in /etc/postinstall.  Any that have run will have a ".done" suffix.  More importantly, any that haven't won't.  If you see ones that haven't run, you can try running them manually from a bash shell and see if that helps.  But really, even if some or all the scripts have the ".done" suffix, it doesn't mean that they ran correctly.
It just means that they ran.  To determine if there were any problems during the run, you need to find and look at the setup.log.full and/or setup.log files.  These should reside in the directory you ran setup from.  If there are complaints there about any post-install scripts, then that's where you should focus your investigation.  setup should have reported any post-install complaints to you at the end of the install too.

You may also find that you're a victim of BLODA - <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA>.  You can investigate this avenue as well as something is clearly getting in the way of the post-install script process.

===============================

Thank you Larry

All scripts have .done.

Setup.log.full shows an error. I see the word McShield, and I link it to BLODA. File C:\cygwin64\etc\setup\setup.rc exists - although I assume it didn't exist when setup was started.
