Regarding /setup/snapshots:
=======================
INSTALLATION ATTEMPT n+1: Download then Install with setup-2.521.exe
1. I emptied folders:
C:\Shareware\Cygwin
C:\Shareware\Cygwin\LocalPkg
2. I ran setup.exe and selected:
- 'Download Without Installing'
- Local Package Directory: C:\Shareware\Cygwin\LocalPkg
- Internet Connection: Direct Connection
- Download Site: http://sourceware.mirrors.tds.net
- Select Packages: (left defaults as-is) Clicked Next
SAME RESULTS AS INSTALLATION ATTEMPT 2.
=======================
INSTALLATION ATTEMPT n+2: Download then Install with setup-2.523.exe
1. I emptied folders:
C:\Shareware\Cygwin
C:\Shareware\Cygwin\LocalPkg
2. I ran setup.exe and selected:
- 'Download Without Installing'
- Local Package Directory: C:\Shareware\Cygwin\LocalPkg
- Internet Connection: Direct Connection
- Download Site: http://sourceware.mirrors.tds.net
- Select Packages: (left defaults as-is) Clicked Next
SAME RESULTS AS INSTALLATION ATTEMPT 2.
Any more combinations or permutations that might work?
