Windows 2008 64-bit install

I'm trying to install Cygwin on a stock Amazon EC2 Windows 2008 64-bit image.

At the end of setup, I get a dialog that says "Postinstall script errors" 
with the 
following information in it:

Package: Unknown package
	000-cygwin-post-install.sh exit code -1073741819
	base-files-mketc.sh exit code -1073741819
	base-files-profile.sh exit code -1073741819
	bash.sh exit code 35584
	coreutils.sh exit code -1073741819
	joe.sh exit code -1073741819
	man.sh exit code -1073741819
	terminfo.sh exit code 35584
	terminfo0.sh exit code -1073741819

Some Googling revealed someone else with the identical problem, but no 
resolution.

Following some suggestions, I turned off DEP, but the problem persists.

I put all the logs in a zip file here: 
http://www.slatner.com/quick/cygwinresults.zip

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Why don't you simply run (at least) one of the scripts manually and see 
if you see an error?!

UAC is much more likely a problem.

South African mirrors

Hi,

This South African mirror is not listed on the default Cygwin mirror list:
   mirror.ufs.ac.za/Cygwin

It's accessible via both http and ftp.

regards,

Re: After installing 1.7.7 command ls is null --now with cygcheck.out

Thanks to Larry and Gerry for the discussion that has led to a solution 
for me too -- while occupied by something else or sleeping at GMT+1. 
Stopping processes started by cygrunsrv and a reinstall did it.

Where to find a reliable provider of CygwinX?

After having installed a basic version of Cygwin I wanted to install X 
and a few programs that depend on it.  Using one mirror I thought I was 
doing well, but no program X were found.  Somehow I got the information 
that xinit was needed, but that I could not obtain from the mirror. So I 
found another and lo-and-behold: I got xinit, X, and Xemacs.

 From previous experience I knew that the X-server should be started 
somehow, but I could not resist to call Xemacs right away.  And believe 
it or not: it could not start, and complained about a missing 
cygjpeg-62.dll.  So back to the provider to have a look for the package 
libjpeg-62, identified by a lookup elsewhere.  But neither of the two 
providers had such a package, but instead some different libjpeg-*. 
After having downloaded all of these, the complaint came back again.

So: please give me some advice on where to find a provider of all 
packages and preferably also some about how packages have been tested 
for completeness.

Sincerely

Jørgen Steensgaard

I ran them all, with the following results:

bash-3.2# /etc/postinstall/000-cygwin-post-install.sh
bash-3.2# /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh
bash: /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh: Permission denied

UAC is the first thing I turn off when spinning up a new machine :)

I'm not an expert at this...I usually just install, configure the SSH server, 
and go about my business. I've never had it not work before.

I have no record of this mirror ever going through channels to register.

the package is "libjpeg62"
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=libjpeg62%2Flibjpeg62-6b-21&grep=cygjpeg-62.dll

are you sue that xemacs need cygjpeg-62.dll ?

on the setup.ini file it is reported libjpeg8

 <at>  emacs-X11
sdesc: "X11 binaries for Emacs."
ldesc: "This package contains the X11 binaries for emacs.  Install
it if you want to run emacs using the X window system for
display.  The binaries also can be used in non-X11 mode."
category: Editors Interpreters
requires: alternatives emacs font-adobe-dpi75 font-misc-misc libICE6
libSM6 libX11_6 libXft2 libXpm4 libXrender1 libdbus1_3 libfontconfig1

Re: Where to find a reliable provider of CygwinX?

Thanks Marco.  Below I react in-line to most of your questions.  My main 
point is the lack of distribution consistency I have reported on.

Sorry for the added hypen.  I use another computer to send mail for the 
moment.

As you know, you get Cygwin from a mirror.  Mirrors are not controlled by
cygwin.com.  So if you're having trouble with a mirror or its content,
it's best to contact the mirror provider directly.  Otherwise you can email
Cygwin's sourcemaster.  But before doing any of that, please make sure that
the mirror you're choosing is on the list of active mirrors.  You can find
the list of active mirrors (which 'setup.exe' references) along with details
