Not Found: sh
Somehow, your installation of bash has failed.  Rerun setup.exe,
and select bash for reinstallation, so that the postinstall
script will run again and create /bin/sh.  Without a working
/bin/sh, many cygwin programs have extreme difficulty.
When i perform a reinstallation of bash, no /bin/sh is created. I also tried to run the postinstall manually but without any luck.
Then i started with making a copy of bash.exe called sh.exe, also without any luck.


Is there otherwise the possibility for me to download a base-system package? Or should i install some other package to get this postinstall triggered to create the /bin/sh
