RE: cygwin64 - installation problem - installed by administrator account

["Flower, Martin" <Martin dot Flower at papyrus dot com>]

Thank you Larry.

I have uninstalled GIT. I have deleted C:\cygwin64. I have rerun setup-x86_64.exe as admflma. In the start menu I click on the Cygwin icon and continue to have the same symptoms.

Windows cannot find mintty. I can browse for mintty.exe, and then nothing happens.

I open a command window and type C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe and a shell window appears with prompt sh-4.15$

I have rebooted and there is no difference.

If the post-install scripts ran successfully, how would I know? I don't see any changes to my windows PATH environment.

Thanks for your help.

/Martin

Yes, thank you.  Looks like all the packages are installed OK.  My guess is that the post-install scripts didn't run properly because the GIT tools you have in your path took precedence over the Cygwin ones.  I'd suggest temporarily removing C:\Tools\Git\bin and C:\Tools\Git\cmd from your path, deleting C:\cygwin64, and rerunning setup.  See if that helps.
