IZ81009: CYGWIN IS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY ON WINDOWS/2008 R2 64 BIT

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• Scenario:
  .
  We want to provision Windows 2008 virtual servers using TSAM
  selfservice capabilities. We have prepared the Windows 2008
  image following instructions in :
  .
  http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v10r1/topic/
  com.ibm.tsam.doc_7.2/rdp/t_prepare_os_image_vmware_win.html
  .
  We do not succeed to provision the image. One of the problems
  we observe is that cygwin is not installed correctly. When
  running manually postInstallAfter.bat script an empty cygwin
  installation is created (C:/cygwin/bin empty folder).
  .
  We have executed the installation interactivley using the
  same options used by the unattended installing, but removing
  the --quiet-mode option:
  .
  setup.exe --quiet-mode --root C:çcygwin --local-install
  --local-package-dir C:çtempçcygwinçrelease all
  .
  We observe all packages are with option skip, and we have
  to click them manually, one by one, to force them to install.
  It looks like the unattended installation is not working
  properly
  .
  Running the following command seems to resolve the problem:
  setup.exe --quiet-mode --root %SystemDrive%çcygwin
  --local-install
  --local-package-dir %PACKAGE_DIR%ç all -P
  cygrunsrv,openssh,openssl,tcp_wrappers,unzip,zip
  .
  Environment
  .
  Customer's version of Windows is: Windows/2008 R2 64 bit
  and cygwin version is version 2.573.2.3.
