Re: Get IO Error opening file

[Erich Dollansky <oceanare at pacific dot net dot sg>]

Hi,

one follows the other.

Try to find this file via Google or Yahoo, download it manually to the 
location where cygwin stores its files on your machine and then try to 
install it again.

This happens once in a while. Maybe the path is wrong or the file is 
missing on the server.
