If it is 64 bit system then it will not be available in a 32 bit process such as Cygwin's bash in that directory. You'll need to look at /cygdrive/c/Windows/sysnative/taskkill instead. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

However, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942589 reports a problem with directly using system32 on 64-bit version of Server 2003 and Windows XP. Perhaps the version of Microsoft Windows is the issue? On my Windows-7 64-bit system, sysnative is not in the path but system32 is.

Fix *what*? There were suggestions in this thread. If you tried them and they didn't work then make it clear precisely what isn't working.
