I am a newbie running cygwin on Windows 7. I want to run an installer for
graphics software, Dislin.
$./setup.exe
bash: ./setup.exe Permission denied
Permissions for setup.exe are -rwxrwxrwx+
setup will run in a Windows Command window. I'm wondering if that "+" in the
permissions is a problem. If so, how do I circumvent it? Any help would be
appreciated.

Please read and follow the problem reporting guidelines found at this
link: <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>
Also include in your report whether the program you're running is in a
local directory or a network one and, if the latter, a description of
the server and file system type. Also, the results of 'getfacl ./setup.exe'
may be instructive. The '+' in the 'ls -l' output indicates that there is
an ACL for the file with additional permissions. 'getfacl' will display
those permissions.

Lou,
cygstart is the command for starting Windows applications from the
command line. Most installers will run from Windows Explorer. I'm
curious to know why you don't just double-click on the item.
That plus sign on the end is Cygwin's way of noting the file "setup.exe"
has ACLs -- permissions of a type native to Windows that aren't _quite
suitable for ready display in a terminal. You can look them up on the
Cygwin site. (There's also the command 'getfacl <file>', but IMO its
output is a little abstruse for newbie Cygwin users).
Helpful? Good.

Another option is to simple rename "setup.exe" to say, "cygwin.exe".

I am a newbie running cygwin on Windows 7. I want to run an installer for
graphics software, Dislin, viz.
$./setup.exe
bash: ./setup.exe Permission denied
Permissions for setup.exe are -rwxrwxrwx+
setup will run in a Windows Command window. I'm wondering if that "+" in the
permissions is a problem. If so, how do I circumvent it? Any help would be
appreciated.

Windows 7 has something called UAC[1] which forces you to run anything called 'setup.exe' with Administrator privileges. You either need to disable UAC or run the installer from Windows Explorer or a command prompt.
