A vexing installation problem

[John Macallister]

>If that doesn't work, entirely wipe out c:\local\cygwin, run regedit,

keys entirely.  >Then reboot and try reinstalling just a minimal
installation.

If you run cygcheck to check that your system is clear of cygwin note
that it appears to create those keys whenever it's run. You'll need to
delete the keys again after running cygcheck. At least this is the
behaviour I have seen.

Cheers,
