I'm sure this is frustrating for both of us. I was expecting Cygwin to be
running a couple of days ago. There is nothing unusual about what I am
doing with setup.exe. I don't know why setup.exe would be sensitive to my
hardware/software more than other people's.
Hardware:
Compaq Presario, AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor, 3200+, 2.00 GHz, 512 MB of
RAM, Physical Address Extension.
Software:
Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 2, automatic
updates enabled.
If I knew what setup.exe was needing, I could look for it.
======
1. As previously stated, under all installation attempts (except the first):
"""""""""""""""""""""""
1. I emptied folders:
C:\Shareware\Cygwin
C:\Shareware\Cygwin\LocalPkg
"""""""""""""""""""""""
When I say that I 'emptied folders', I deleted all folders/files in each
folder except the main folder itself, including the .log files and all
downloaded files. As a consequence the 'setup.log' and 'setup.log.full'
files were deleted on each test.
Therefore, there was no appending of old error messages - the date/time
stamps on the messages tell you that the errors are not appended from other
runs. I've included the setup.log.full for the latest setup run (fewer error
messages) at the end of this response.
2. 'Download Without Installing' is the exact text on the dialog option I
selected. Following some downloads I did try an installation always with
the same bad VM results.
3. Don't assume that this is package specific: 'So, your real problem is
setup hogging up all the VM
while installing the alternatives package.' I tried other iterations that
included SKIPPING this package and others (one at a time and in
combinations) - same results. This is probably not package specific.
4. No /var/log/setup.log file was created. Also, these folders don't exist
either. I believe that setup.exe failed to create them due to the bad path
string.
5. I have never been successful at setting up any part of Cygwin - so there
are no after installation issues to worry about yet.
6. When I say 'while' it means that literally Cygwin setup is running the
'Install from Local Directory' (after a previous 'Download Without
Installing') - I am literally watching it run and also (at the same) time I
am watching VM Size under the Windows Task Manager. I am also watching the
File Explorer to see what folders and files are being generated. The
'Install from Local Directory' part of setup.exe has never finished. When
VM size approaches 1,000,000K+ my mouse won't even move and it is difficult
to terminate setup.exe. When I let it go - VM manager terminates setup.exe.
7. As I previously stated, I am running under the admin account - I have
full registry access during setup.
8. As I previously stated, I tried 'Install from Local Directory' with NAV
auto-protect disabled - same result.
9. As I previously stated, I tried a download followed by installation
without nested folders. Specifically I used 'C:\Cygwin' and
'C:\Cygwin_localpkg'. Same results.
10. It doesn't take long to delete and download the files - this way I
always start each installation test in the same starting state.
11. Why is setup.exe trying to access files under '/etc/setup/...' - these
don't exist?
