winchain - issue #8

winChain is not launching the Cygwin installer after 4th step..

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1) You'll download the two files. 2) You'll download WinRAR and extract preBuiltToolchain.rar. 3) You run winChain.exe and it'll ask for the preBuiltToolchain folder. 4) You'll wait a little while as winChain copies the file (it should only take a second).

After finishing 4th step its not launching Cygwin installer.

5) winChain will launch the Cygwin installer. You just have to keep clicking "Next" until it completes... no special options or anything.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm having the same problem everything downloaded today.

Using Vista Home 32 bits, AMD Turion X2, 2GB of RAM

toolchain installs on D:\Cygwin (My documents partition) and the "Install Cygwin Environmet" is always disabled.

I downloaded the source for your project, and looking at the "Copy Files" button code, I saw that when the files are copied successfully, it enables the NPP button and not the Cygwin install button. Changing that line (66 in winChain.cs) to "btnInstallCygwin.Enabled = true;" and running it in Debug worked for me!
