Re: Version error from set-1.7.exe

What exactly is: "local package directory".

It's the directory where setup.exe keeps local copies of all the packages it installs, which you select on the fourth screen of setup.exe.

My directory (/updates) is
void of any *.ini files and it still complains. The only file "close"
in my whole installation is a "setup-2.ini" which always seem to get
re-created. Is maybe the mirror-site has an out-of-date .ini file? (/updates/ftp%3a%2f%2fmirror.internode.on.net%2fpub%2fcygwin%2f)

Nah, it's maybe because I had my head on back-to-front when I wrote that first reply:

"The current .ini file is from a newer version of setup.exe ..."

What you actually need to do is download a fresh copy of setup-1.7.exe from the cygwin website. 'scuse my confusion.

cheers,

I'll postpone that activity til version cygwin 1.7 becomes official.
