I want to reinstall cygwin but I cannot remove the root directory because of this file: C:\cygwin64\usr\share\texmf-dist\doc\latex\hausarbeit-jura\README. It has very strange properties: when I right click on it Properties/Security, this is what I get: “The requested security information is either unavailable or can't be displayed” I have tried to delete the file from DOS, using 8.3 file name as suggested on some web sites but this does not work either. Any clue? Frédéric -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
