According to Mona Lisa on 2/23/2008 2:03 AM:
| Thanks for your suggestion.
| Now the __COMPAT_LAYER=VistaSetUp and I copied tar 1.19
| version,cygintl-8.dll (for tar  1.19) and cygwin1.dll 1.5.25 version.

I'm not sure what you are doing with __COMPAT_LAYER.  That environment
variable is not used by the cygwin version of tar.

| Still im getting the follwing error
| "tar: Bad address
| Skipping to nex header"

That message is not printed by the cygwin version of tar.  I'm not sure
what you are running, but since it is not the cygwin version of tar, I
can't help you.

|
| If i set ___COMPAT_LAYER=WinXpSp2 or ___COMPAT_LAYER= then tar executes
| files successfully. What it may be the reson for this error? Please help
| me to find out.
|
| thanks in advance.

If you need more help installing the cygwin version of tar properly,
consider asking on the cygwin mailing list.
