Try this: run %ComSpec% > mklink /D %SystemRoot%\System32\cygwin c:\cygwin64 > mklink /D %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\cygwin c:\cygwin32 Then edit your user envrionment valriable table and add %SystemRoot%\System32\cygwin\bin to PATH. This way you will run 32-bit cygwin programs from 32-bit programs, and 64-bit programs from 64-bit programs. That is, if you start c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe, it'll run 64-bit apps, while c:\windows\syswow64\cmd.exe will only run 32-bit apps. Obviously, you need to set up symlinks as Administrator, or give yourself the SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege privilege. Changing the contents of system directories might also require you to be the Administrator (not sure). - -- O< ascii ribbon - stop html email! - www.asciiribbon.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJR81p/AAoJEOs4Jb6SI2CwgSIIALCjy2f2M4HTAdu4NQeGhK8+ XXRgvuSs38kb+EOQt/jMK2PbDjhpvpeKajwIwoVXsfNyQO4hBuHswa94A2i7GH8z Xu7P27QbYTKD6k8eqXRhUfM/Vg4XkYnJpYD5kqaFsu6rEOOya1H2Q9yADZwsqmaA NT73a9urkouz5c9N2Z7xeM8aD/ptH6L1Drmr13H6yADbs6MABKVShuPcjFQYz/JX WrzFSUQhZFN2sVnauWwqIEwyH/AI0E7/jZ+qOTrDOGTQknw4ph1vmBxeHKDDa3zh gkPL+V0xiiGdzBcgExdJi7NIJcIwvykSuXe264U9MDgmkQ7YFqrTQ+XoMmqV7S4= =Zsjm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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
