Re: Installing cygwin on new box, getting "cygwin1.dll is missing"
Greetings, KARR, DAVID!
> Today I started trying to install Cygwin on a new Win7 box. It took a long
> time to get to the end, which included many "Can't open (null) for reading:
> No such file" dialogs along the way.
Reinstall it using superadmin account and minimal set of packages for a
start.
> When it finally got close to
> finishing, I got a dialog which just says:
> "The program can't start because cygwin1.dll is missing from your computer."
> I've searched for occurrences of this particular symptom, but I didn't see anything useful.
> What's curious is that when I try to dismiss the dialog, it just redisplays.
> Fortunately, it's not a modal dialog, so it lets me click "Cancel" on the
> setup dialog. Also curiously, that doesn't even cause the "The program ..."
> dialog to go away. Clicking OK at that point makes it go away.
> I've tried this several times, with the same result.
