Hi,
I have been using cygwin for several years now. I am now trying to install
the latest version. I deleted my cygwin directory to avoid any possible
conflicts. I downloaded the whole distribution to the local drive.
When I start the installation, it checks MD5's and then presents me with the
choice of packages. I make my choice, the installation continues by
"checking MD5 for _update-info-dir-00230-1" and then the following error
appears:
"Runtime Error! Program: C:\tmpcyg\setup.exe
abnormal program termination"
The error message is not very helpful (true to its Window$ heritage).
There are no messages available in Event Viewer.
Running Win2k, 5.00.2195, SP4
What should I do next?
Thanks
