getting cancelsynchronous IO error when starting mintty.exe from Windows XP desktop shortcut

getting cancelsynchronous IO error when starting mintty.exe from Windows XP desktop shortcut

[prabhakar gupta]

Hi there,
                I had some problem during my installation of cygwin. I have pasted the contents of log below:
After getting the "installation cocmpleted" message I double clicked on the MINTTY.EXE shortcut and go the following error:
"The procedure entry point cancelsynchronousio could not be located in the dynamic link libraryKERNEL32.DLL". The error message window closed after that. I will appreciate if someone can help me to fix this problem. I have installed in on Windows XP SP3 and it is a fresh installation of cygwin.

Thanks,
Prabhakar

If this is the latest and greatest Cygwin, I believe the most recent 
release is the first release that won't work on Windows XP.

Cygwin 2.5.2 still runs on XP and Server 2003.  Only with the current
test release 2.6.0 XP/2003 support has been removed.

Indeed, that Windows API function does not exist on XP:

  https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/aa363794.aspx

Does this not show that the Cygwin DLL is trying to call it?

$ objdump -x /bin/cygwin1.dll | grep CancelSync

I've tested mintty 2.4.2 on cygwin 2.5.2 on Windows XP and it works fine 
here.

CancelSynchronousIo is dynamically loaded by the Cygwin DLL up to version
2.5.2.  If loading fails, the DLL falls back to other, somewhat unsafe
code on pre-Vista.

Re: getting cancelsynchronous IO error when starting mintty.exe from Windows XP desktop shortcut

[Fjor]

Hi, Prabhakar,

I upgraded my cygwin in XP to 2.6 and found that it doesn't work, so I
opened the last 32bit installer again and in the "Select packages" section
clicked the <View> button to change to full list view, and then searched 
for "cygwin" (without the quotes). The list showed three packages with the
2.6.0 version. I clicked in the version number to change it to 2.5.2 (in
"cygwin" and "cygwin-devel") and 2.5.0 (in "cygwin-doc"), then clicked on
<Next> to continue the installation.

The installer downgraded the libraries. The shell terminal and cron, sshd 
services worked again!

I have not tested this in a new installation, as this is the only XP system
I 
keep in operation to run some 16bit apps, the rest being win7/8.1s, but I 
hope you can do the same to downgrade your cygwin. 

Of course, when we have to upgrade packages again in the future, we must 
confirm that these three packages are marked "keep" to avoid them to be 
modified by the installer during the upgrading process.

Regards,
Fjor

The 2.5.2 package will go away at one point.  Keep a copy, but there's
no guarantee that future applications will continue to work on 2.5.2,
given that we add API entry points.
