I have just moved (robocopy) cygwin installation from C:/cygwin64 to
F:/cygwin64 (win7). My stumbling block is handling cygrunsrv.
For cygrunsrv, I thought I could change the service properties to start
it from F:/..., but I can't figure out how to do that on Win7.
Any suggestions on how best to get cygrunsrv going/installed after
moving cygwin installation?

$ sc qc cygserver
will show how the service is currently configured e.g.
[SC] QueryServiceConfig SUCCESS
SERVICE_NAME: cygserver
TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
START_TYPE : 2 AUTO_START (DELAYED)
ERROR_CONTROL : 1 NORMAL
BINARY_PATH_NAME : C:\cygwin64\bin\cygrunsrv.exe
LOAD_ORDER_GROUP :
TAG : 0
DISPLAY_NAME : CYGWIN cygserver
DEPENDENCIES :
SERVICE_START_NAME : LocalSystem
From an elevated prompt (run as Admin):
$ sc config cygserver binPath= $(cygpath -w $(which cygrunsrv))
or the Windows equivalent from an elevated cmd prompt:
> sc config cygserver binPath= F:\cygwin64\bin\cygrunsrv.exe
IIRC the space after the = is required.

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Thanks Brian, the Windows command to manipulate service configuration is
exactly what I needed.
