Forgot to include the setup.log.full data that gave me this clue:
setup.exe is really trying to iostream::open() this "file" --
file:///Polgara/private/software/windows/cygwin-new/setup.ini
If I paste ^^^^ into IE, it fails. But the following two pathnames work:
file://///Polgara/private/software/windows/cygwin-new/setup.ini
file:////Polgara/private/software/windows/cygwin-new/setup.ini
(Yes, those ARE forward slashes) Something to do with iostream::open()
and slashifying, maybe?
