Hopefully you're not seriously expecting anyone to debutg a problem where you run setup.exe under wine to download to a samba system so that setup.exe can be run on YA system. That's hardly a common use case. If this is something that you need debugged, I think you're going to have to do it yourself. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
