Installation problem with Windows Server 2008
Hello, I am experiencing problem with Cygwin installation on the latest Windows Server 2008 Enterprise version RC1. I am using the latest setup.exe from Cygwin home page (as of yesterday). The setup runs fine during the package selection and download phase. The installation hangs when it tries to run the first of the postinstall shell scripts. By hang, I mean the process takes up 100% CPU for an indefinite period of time. Even after I cancel the installation process, the bash process keeps running. I had to kill the process using Task Manager. I installed all the default selected packages plus Python 2.5. When I manually start the bash.exe program by double-clicking on c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe, I can use some of the commands okay (like echo, ls, find, cat, less, etc). But again, if I invoke Python interactive interpreter, it hangs. Interestingly, python --version works fine. But python any-python-script hangs. Is Cygwin supposed to work on Server 2008 yet? If so, are there any known issues? I noticed that a similar problem was reported in August on this list but did not find a solution. Any help would be appreciated.
