(by the way -- this reveals another bug too: The script says "[ -r $t ] && $mks ..." where I am sure it should be "[ -r $target ] && $mks ...") (and again btw, I am not sure bash should count "[ -r ]" as a true statement) The script issues mkshortcut commands with sane arguments, no extra "C:/" in there. So I just tried to run the script from an elevated-privilege mintty shell: $ CYGWINFORALL=-A /bin/bash /etc/postinstall/cygwin-doc.sh But then it does NOT fail, and the shortcuts do get installed -- they were not present before. I am still running the 32-bit cygwin, though on a 64-bit windows 10 Home edition, version 1709, OS build 16299.125. Any ideas about what could be the problem? -Enrique -- 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
