Re: Install still fails on win7 (and no tips after 2.5 months?)

Why does cygwin not install properly on windows 7 (32 bit)?

...on your machine. It's a fair question. But also one that may require more input and action by you to resolve. I'll offer a couple of pot-shots, in the absence of more details.

<snip>


On Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit.
                          ^^^^^
Here it seems like you're pointing at Windows 7 x64.  FWIW, I have installed
on this platform no problem.  Well, of course, I'm not the only one.


For al post-install actions, there are a log entries such as follows:


2010/09/23 11:21:58 running: C:\cygwin175\bin\bash.exe --norc
--noprofile /etc/postinstall/000-cygwin-post-install.sh
2010/09/23 11:22:06 abnormal exit: exit code=-1073741515
2010/09/23 11:22:06 running: C:\cygwin175\bin\bash.exe --norc
--noprofile /etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.sh
2010/09/23 11:22:07 abnormal exit: exit code=-1073741515
2010/09/23 11:22:07 running: C:\cygwin175\bin\bash.exe --norc
--noprofile /etc/postinstall/coreutils.sh
2010/09/23 11:22:07 abnormal exit: exit code=-1073741515
2010/09/23 11:22:07 running: C:\cygwin175\bin\bash.exe --norc
--noprofile /etc/postinstall/terminfo.sh

2010/09/23 11:22:08 running: C:\cygwin175\bin\bash.exe --norc
--noprofile /etc/postinstall/bash.sh

And a dialog is posted to the UI, reporting a failure:

Don't worry too much about the above complaints. They'll eventually get addressed. There's nothing really new here other than these potential issues are now getting reported.

"The program can't start because cyggcc_s-1.dll is missing from your
computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I tried re-install, but to no avail.

Suggestions?

That's my best suggestion. Also, what did you reinstall? You're looking for libgcc1. You might want to reboot after for good measure. And then also look for <http://www.acronymfinder.com/#BLODA>.
