Hello all,
I'm reinstalling Cygwin after wiping my system and am finding that the inst= all doesn't create any icons for the X server/apps. A little annoying since= this is the primary reason I'm installing Cygwin.
Setup version: 2.881 64-bit
Windows: 10 Home. Spring(?) creator's update (Version 1703)
I can start X by opening a Cygwin64 shell, and then running "startxwin," an= d that works for most of my needs. However this seems a strange behavior.
Is there a setup log I can look at to see if it's even trying to create the= icons? I have Windows 7 hosts, admittedly installed with older installers,= that have icons for Cygwin-X.
I selected "install" for XWindows, so pretty much everything X is installed= save the desktops, and perhaps some of those.
Thanks,
Brian Cowan

The postinstall script /etc/postinstall/xinit.sh should have created a
Start Menu shortcut "XWin Server" under the heading "Cygwin-X".

I started a terminal as a local administrator and reran /etc/postinstall/xinit.sh.done
I got a bunch of "key exists" messages, but my icons appeared... I THINK the setup asked for elevation. I'll have to check that shortly.
