<Error : Windows is searching for Mintty>

[Manoj Navandar]

Hello Team,

I recently installed cygwin on Windows 8 64 bit. Packages installation
worked fine but it seems Mintty is missing. I reinstalled cygwin
setup-x86_64 [version 2.819-64 bit] by adding mintty (both bin and
src) under shell tab (1.2-beta-1.1 version), but it seems that error
still persists.

Target path is - C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -


I checked C:\cygwin64\bin directory. mintty is missing there. I also
tried to download the package separately. But it's not working. Is
there any way I would get it to work? I have tried every possible
option. Nothing much on internet about cygwin on windows 8. Please
help!

P.S. Since this is my first time, I am not sure where should I post
this. If this mailing list does not address the concerned issue,
kindly redirect.



Thanks,
Mani

This should be "mintty.exe" in place of "mintty".

Is "mintty.exe" there? If not, follow the problem reporting
guidelines; specifically the bit about cygcheck output.

Hello,

I re installed cygwin from a different mirror and it seems the things
are working fine. At least for now :)  Thanks for your support :)

Thanks,
Mani
