From 'man sh':
"If arguments remain after option processing, and neither the -c nor the
-s option has been supplied, the first argument is assumed to be the
name of a file containing shell commands."
So sh complains that you gave it a binary file instead of a file
containing shell commands.
What happens if you just type '/usr/bin/emacs-X11'? And what's the
output of 'ls -l /usr/bin/emacs*'? Also, can you check that all your
postinstall scripts have run successfully? They should all end in
'.done'. Finally, please resend the output of 'cygcheck -svr'; the
attachment in your previous email seems to have gotten truncated.
