I compiled that (under cygwin on an XP machine) and it worked. Cygwin now works on my 64-bit Vista machine too. I decided to start over, so I deleted the entire c:\cygwin directory and manually removed all of the Cygnus keys from the registry. When I ran Cygwin's setup again, it worked. I didn't need to rebase any DLLs. I even tried the whole process again with Windows Defender enabled, and that worked too. So, I'm happy that it works now. I would be happier if I knew why, but I can no longer reproduce the problem I had before.

Re: 1.5.25: Vista x64 - can't install, no (known) BLODAs, rebase not helping
I'm glad Cygwin is working on Vista 64 for other people, but it's still not working for me. Turning off UAC completely didn't make a difference. Is there anything else I can try? Is there anything I can do to help determine what's causing the problem? I'd really like to get Cygwin working. It's not mission-critical for me, but I've been a Cygwin user for about ten years and I've really gotten used to having it available. Alexander P.S. Sorry to break the thread by not replying to the original message, but I had some mail configuration issues and don't have the other messages in this thread to reply to. I also couldn't figure out how to get the mailing list's get feature to work.

Yes, Cygwin runs fine on my Vista 64 b, also, because of you and the other fine folks who make it so. Thank you, very much. cygcheck, however, does not run fine when dealing with the registry. 'cygcheck' claims not to support Vista 64b under 1.5, and maybe that's okay. And, Vista 64b UAC is sometimes problematic for installs, which is NOT a Cygwin problem, AFAIK.

1.5.25: Vista x64 - can't install, no (known) BLODAs, rebase not helping
I am running Vista Home Premium x64. After checking the BLODA http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda, I turned off Windows Defender. I also tried running rebaseall, but that still didn't help. Below is a list of the steps I followed to try to install cygwin, and the errors I got. I also had trouble running cygcheck (see #7, below). 1. Turn off Windows UAC installer detection (by changing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableInstallerDetection from 1 to 0). 2. Turn off Windows Defender completely. 3. Check that I have no other programs on the BLODA list installed. 4. Run setup.exe (v2.573.2.3) as Administrator. Install for All Users in C:\cygwin, selecting only the default set of packages. 5. The installer hangs running /etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh. Cancel the installer. 6. View setup.log.postinstallXa03212: lots of errors like 8 [main] bash 2504 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before initialization, retry 10, exit code 0x100, errno 11. The log is attached. 7a. Run Start Accessories Command Prompt as Administrator. C:\Windows\system32cd \cygwin\bin C:\cygwin\bincygcheck -s -v -r ..\cygcheck.out 7b. This seemed to be taking a long time. I checked the output of the log file. It looked like it had gone into infinite recursion trying to scan the registry.
