Problem solved. Apparently another piece of software on my machine installed an older version of Cygwin deep in the other program's install directory. I assume Setup.exe was finding and trying to use an old version of cygwin1.dll. Once I found and uninstalled the old version, setup worked like a charm.
Does Setup.exe bootstrap off cygwin1.dll? If so, could it check the version? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Brendan Kelly Sent: Sunday, June 02, 2002 9:04 PM To: 'Robert Collins'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Setup.exe 2.218.2.9 crashes with stack fault on Win98SE I probably should have mentioned in the first post...
