I've tried renaming C:\cygwin, rebooting, and attempting to delete the
directory while there is no 'current' cygwin installation. Searching the
registry for 'tabs' (the name of the leaf directory) finds no relevant
instances. A disk check for NTFS problems didn't help.
Turn heuristic virus
scanners off while installing, invoke the circle before selecting the install
host, 10lb. package of grits on top of machine to draw out the devil, cold
pizza
nearby....?
I'm not running any antivirus software (although the latest Cygwin
installer seems to think I am). I'll do the necessary sacrifices tomorrow
if I can get a two-headed goat.
Thanks,
