[wpkg-users] Installing Cygwin 1.7.1-1 hangs on MD5 check

[Johannes.Brix at evidian.com]

Hello everybody,

since some days, I'm fighting with the configuration of Cygwin 1.7.1-1 
installation.
I need this version because we change to Windows 7 x64.

Problem: wpkg calls the setup.exe of Cygwin and it starts.
Line which calls the start:
        C:\temp\Cygwin\setup.exe  -q -R C:\Cygwin -L -l 
C:\temp\Cygwin\ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.univie.ac.at%2fpackages%2fcygwin%2f
Same with
        C:\temp\Cygwin\setup.exe  -R C:\Cygwin -L -l 
C:\temp\Cygwin\ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.univie.ac.at%2fpackages%2fcygwin%2f

Very soon, it keeps hanging on "MD5 check of <some module>". 
Same behviour on Windows 7 and XP!

Installation by hand works fine.

Anybody an idea?

Johannes
