No, it says "The main purpose of this update is to allow Cygwin to run
correctly on Windows 2008 Server". It does not say "Without this
update you won't even be able to install Cygwin on Windows 2008
Server."
Anyway, I installed Windows 2008 Server about one week ago and at this
time I had not read about a major issue preventing installation. I
didn't report that because I was not sure if I missed a thread about
this topic. Therefor I'm simply asking: was it known here before
yesterday that one cannot install Cygwin on Windows 2008? I'm just
curious.
