I am using Cygwin 3.1.4-1, bash 4.4.12-3 and dash 0.5.9.1-1.

I have a setup.exe in the root of my Cygwin installation, C:\cygwin64, for example.
If I set PATH=C:\cygwin64;C:\cygwin64\bin, I can run setup.exe from bash.

C:\>set PATH=C:\cygwin64;C:\cygwin64\bin

C:\>bash
$ echo $PATH
/:/usr/bin
$ setup-x86_64.exe  --version
Cygwin setup 2.903

However, in dash:
C:\>dash
$ echo $PATH
/:/usr/bin
$ setup-x86-64.exe --version
dash: 2: setup-x86-64.exe: not found

Am I misusing Cygwin trying to run executables from the top of the installation? Is it expected to all shells would behave the same?

Thanks,
Sasha Slijepcevic

Do you happen to have placed a copy of dash into your assumed root, 
C:\cygwin64\dash.exe?

Did you happen to notice that in the second case you misspelled
the name of the executable, using a - instead of an _ ?

No, there is no a copy of dash in the root, only in C:\cygwin64\bin.

For what it's worth (which admittedly may not be much):
If I copy

D:\cygwin64\bin\ls.exe to D:\cygwin64\ foo.exe

I can reproduce this issue: bash finds 'foo.exe' in D:\cygwin64, but dash
does not.

You mis-typed the name of the executable when trying dash.
