Dear sirs,

I tried to install cygwin with windows 2000. The installation procedure
has no problem but the application is not working properly:
When I click on the Cygwin icon , the only thing I get is a really brief
black window where I don't have the time to read the content.

Sincerely
Philippe

This started happening to me on a Win98 system where CygWin had
been working perfectly before!! I found the problem by editing
the cygwin.bat to remove "@echo off" from the beginning and then
manually running it from a plain MSDOS command window to see what
broke.

The problem was that installing a windows program had put the line
   SET PATH=%PATH%;"C:PROGRAM FILES\SOMEPROGRAM"
into the autoexec.bat file.
Well, now the PATH variable has a blank in it and when cygwin.bat
tries to modify its value the SET command fails. The fix is to
put double-quotes around the entire string that on the right-hand
side of the equals where cygwin.bat modifies PATH, as in:
   SET PATH="c:\cygwin\bin;c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin;%PATH%"

Hope this helps.

Agreed, I've only ever seem this with the old install (non-GUI). Everyone 
should be using the new install now. I haven't checked, but is the old setup 
still on the ftp site?

Hi Philippe,

if this icon is pointing to cygwin.bat, try inserting a "pause".

Bye, Heribert (heribert_dahms@icon-gmbh.de)

Chris,

This is too vague of a question to answer.  Is he using Server or
Professional?  If he's using server is it a Domain controller?  Is it a
Terminal Server.  If it's a terminal server, is the TS in Application mode
or in Remote Administration mode.  Is this the French version of Win2k?  The
US? The U.K. version?

More information is needed...especially how this program was installed.


I just installed the latest version from a Terminal Server Client (a major
no-no when installing programs) on a standard (US) WIN2K Server in Remote
Administration mode and it works great!  I installed the program from...
