i have also found the 2.54 version of setup to behave very brokenly.
i wiped out the entire directory where cygwin used to live in order to
do a clean install using the new setup.exe. i got a partial
installation... only a few programs showed up in the bin directory,
with a bunch of others in a directory called 2.4.2 under the cygwin
root. in addition, the setup directory where i was installing from got
a 2.4.2 directory somehow.
now i didn't go hacking into the registry and deleting any keys from
there. but this was a totally new installation, not an upgrade. and
the setup program picked up where it was supposed to live from the
registry, plus my other settings like line ending.
is the official installation process now involving a bunch of registry
edits before cygwin can be installed again, or is this setup program
actually quite busted?
thanks,
fred.
