setup.exe fails on Windows 7 - please help

[Paul Maier]

Hi,

setup.exe brings hundreds of identical popups with error message:

bash.exe:
The application could not be started (0xc000000d).  *)

All the .exe files are there in the bin folder, but when I double click on bash.exe or any other .exe,
I get the same message.

Only ps.exe works normally.

Cygwin worked without problem for a year on the same machine.

I had completely deleted the folder D:\program\cygwin from my drive and started over, but it's the same.

Thank you for any help!

Regards,
  Paul

Very weird, 0xC000000D is "Invalid parameter".  I would guess that you
have a BLODA problem:

Hi!

thank you, this is solved now. It took me _hours_ of debugging.
I found a copy of cygwin1.dll in an other directory.

Feature request:
Would it take long to add a check at the beginning of setup.exe, that looks for orphaned copies of cygwin1.dll?
And if so, ask the user if setup.exe should be aborted or continued on user's risk.

setup.exe runs approx. 3 hours plus 4 hours of debugging.
-> Such a check can save 1 day.

Greetings,
  Paul

Well, as they say, no good deed goes unpunished.

It was nice of Corinna to suggest about BLODA based on the meager input you
supplied.  But the usual way to provide input for Cygwin problem solution is
linked at the bottom of every posting to this mailing list:

> Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html

If you had read that page, you would have known about running 'cygcheck -s -v
-r' which does a standardized accounting of your Cygwin installation.  Among
other things, it would tell you about any additional cygwin1.dlls and where they
are.  There is no need for setup.exe to duplicate that work.

Good to hear your installation is operational now.
