RE: FW: Installation Problems with Cygwin on Windows XP


Thank you Christopher,
  Clicking on the cygwin icon does not help, coz I get the windows
message, "searching for cygwin.bat"....
I tried installing/re-installing atleast 5 times now but the same
problem. I even tried to create my own cygwin.bat where I have
C:\cygwin\bin
Bash --login -i

Still it does not work. Pls help

There is no reason to include the header from a previous email message
in a subsequent email message.  It just wastes space.

Just double click on the cygwin icon on your desktop if you want to run
cygwin.  You won't be able to run programs from bash unless you set your
PATH appropriately.  Double clicking on the icon does that for you
automatically.
