Upmmm....you're trying to run Linux..in ***dows... (rofl)

To do what you want to do, you need a Linux machine up and running...what you're trying yo do is putting dreadlocks in your hair and hoping you're in Jamaica.
If I'm not mistaken, GnuWin32 is a port of Linux stuff to ***dows. What's the use of that?
Elaborate. What's your goal? Maybe there's a beter wat yo reach the Emerald City

Actually I just want to be able to read the code of some files, in text format, within this cpio (for example, mobilsync.conf, mobilsync.sql) after extracting. Is the error message complains about etc\*** directory not created?

Not sure if there is any other, besides build up a linux machine..

Yes there is, and it's not gonna cost ya! Use a Live CD...does NOT come near your harddrive and you have a fully funtional system in memory.

But...if reading the contents is what you're after...maybe just extracting files into a folder and opening them with notepad (is that still in there? **dows is ancient history for me) should be possible, Linux is OPEN, as in: all is readable by the simplest editor...that should be possible with notepad...

Of course, conf files are the result of an install and a read of the machine's capacities...maybe a dedicated Linux box would'nt be such a bad idea after all...

from

c:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin
that it looks like a royally messed up Mingw install

mingw dose NOT like the "program files" folder
( the "space" in the name ) and missing two directories

MinGW should be
C:\\GnuWin32/MinGW/bin
C:\\GnuWin32/MinGW/lib
C:\\GnuWin32/MinGW/include
--- and so on----
C:\\GnuWin32/Msys/bin
C:\\GnuWin32/Msys/lib
C:\\GnuWin32/Msys/etc


if all you want to do is extract files and "read" them
then 7zip should not have a problem extracting the files in the archive
and the text editor" SciTE " will be able to read it
( notepad will show you EVERYTHING on one line - one VERY long SINGLE line of text )

MinGW and GnuWin32 are different projects, although you can use GnuWin32 stuff with MinGW + Msys. I'm completely Windowless now, so I can't test the cpio problem.
