Problem installing Cygwin 1.7.25 64 bit on W7 and W8
Hello, I tried to update a well running cygwin installation from Cygwin 1.7.24 (64 bit release) to Cygwin 1.7.25 on W7. Setup (most recent version from cygwin.com) didn't succeed because of incomplete download. I tried severel different mirrors, everytime the same problem. Then I removed the cygwin installation, i.e. deleted the folder, tried to install again and got the same error. Disabeling all Virusscanner and Firewall software didn't help. Defenitely it is not a problem of lack of discspace or something like that. A test with the 32 bit release (Cygwin 1.7.24) worked fine without any issue. On W8 i had exactely the same behaviour.

Same experience here. I once pushed continue on the incomplete download error dialog by mistake, that resulted in uninstalling of the selected packages for updates, including cygwin (except for cygwin1.dll).

Did the same thing, in my case even cygwin1.dll is gone, previous version doesn't install either. Looking into setup.ini from various mirrors I can see that all files have size 0. This is also consistent with setup.log which has an error like: Download .../x86_64/release/cygwin/cygwin-1.7.25-1.tar.bz2 wrong size (2708993 actual vs 0 expected) Cygwin is currently unusable, so sad... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

I primarily use ftp.heanet.ie, but I tried mirrors.kernel.org and a couple random mirrors, all of them show the same problem. For example if you look at these directories: http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64/ ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/cygwin/x86_64/ Then you will see setup.ini having a modification time of 03:22 GMT, which timestamp is this file on your private mirror?
