Hi, Jifl,
I delete all the registry information on cygwin, and run the setup.exe
provided by the snapshot of cygwin1.1.1 website. It is pretty quick since I
have downloaded all the necessary elements into an empty directory.
Unfornately, the problem is still there. And this time, the programm doesn't
add a item in the Start Menu like the cygwinB20 full.exe did. But I checked
with the registry, it does add som Cygnus Solution entries.
I remembered that I ever met the problem before when I tried to use the
newest version, at least it ends up with the problem shown above, I have to
reinstall from full.exe provided by CygwinB20 to get a work version Cygwin.
I can not see it is a registry problem. Any other smooth method to upgrade
the cygwin?
Best Regards,
-Ling
