1.7.7: Windows 2003 R2 WOW64: Cygwin installation fails

Fri Feb 11 01:16:00 GMT 2011

After having so much difficulty post-upgrade Cygwin 1.5 to 1.7 on my
Windows 2003 R2 WOW64 machine:
 I prepared a fresh installation of Windows 2003 R2 WOW64 and
installed Cygwin 1.7.7 using setup.exe from the cygwin.com site.
 Conclusion: A fresh install of Cygwin 1.7.7 FAILS on Windows 2003 R2
WOW64.
There are numerous postinstall failures:
 Package: base-cygwin
 000-cygwin-post-install.sh exit code 128
 Package: coreutils
 coreutils.sh exit code 1
 Package: terminfo
 terminfo.sh exit code 35584
 Package: bash
 bash.sh exit code 128
 Package: terminfo0
 terminfo0.sh exit code 128
 Package: base-files
 base-files-profile.sh exit code 128
 base-files-mketc.sh exit code 128
 Package: man
 man.sh exit code 128
The bash login shell fails:
 bash-4.1# echo $PATH
 /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wb
 em:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SQL Server/90/Tools/binn/
 bash-4.1#
No PATH is set.
 bash-4.1# /usr/bin/cat /etc/profile
 /usr/bin/cat: /etc/profile: No such file or directory
No system-wide profile.
I've attached a cygcheck.out.
Please let me know if you would like anymore information. I'll keep
this machine around as is for a few days if it will help.
Regards,
Gerry
