1.7.7: Windows 2003 R2 WOW64: Cygwin installation fails

[Gerry Reno]

After having so much difficulty post-upgrade Cygwin 1.5 to 1.7 on my
Windows 2003 R2 WOW64 machine:

    I prepared a fresh installation of Windows 2003 R2 WOW64 and
installed Cygwin 1.7.7 using setup.exe from the cygwin.com site.

    Conclusion: A fresh install of Cygwin 1.7.7 FAILS on Windows 2003 R2
WOW64.


There are numerous postinstall failures:

    Package: base-cygwin
            000-cygwin-post-install.sh exit code 128
    Package: coreutils
            coreutils.sh exit code 1
    Package: terminfo
            terminfo.sh exit code 35584
    Package: bash
            bash.sh exit code 128
    Package: terminfo0
            terminfo0.sh exit code 128
    Package: base-files
            base-files-profile.sh exit code 128
            base-files-mketc.sh exit code 128
    Package: man
            man.sh exit code 128



The bash login shell fails:

    bash-4.1# echo $PATH
    /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wb
    em:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SQL Server/90/Tools/binn/
    bash-4.1#


No PATH is set.

    bash-4.1# /usr/bin/cat /etc/profile
    /usr/bin/cat: /etc/profile: No such file or directory


No system-wide profile.


I've attached a cygcheck.out.

Please let me know if you would like anymore information.  I'll keep
this machine around as is for a few days if it will help.


Regards,
Gerry
