My guess is that if this is the problem, you have
<http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#3PP> software installed that's running its
stuff.  You'll have to kill that before you can get rid of the other
cygwin1.dll(s).

If one or the other of these hits the mark, you should be able to rerun
"setup.exe" and just click through all the screens.  "setup.exe" should
run all your postinstall scripts and set things up properly.  If not, I
guess you're stuck starting over again, though it sounds like you don't
have much invested yet so that's probably not a painful process.

I've looked for other copies of cygwin1.dll, I was unable to find any.
I have removed every installation of cygwin (removed the dirs) every time I changed the installation path.
I have also checked for applications on BLODA; I don't run any of those.

You run no firewall, AV, or anti-spyware? While those programs listed have been implicated in the past, there are still others out there that can cause problems. It may be worth disabling and/or uninstalling any that you have that fit these categories to see if that helps.

Could it have been around the time you installed Interix/SFU?

Now that you mention it, that is the only thing I have changed aside from installing the windows updates.
I haven't done any other change to the system aside from that and the updates.
That said, I'm not sure what to do to get this fixed.

If all else fails, try running "setup.exe" from a command shell in which you have removed SFU from the path. If it's getting in the way, that should help. You may find that you need to separate the two in your path when running one or the other.

We like this attached instead of appended.

I apologize for this.

Thanks for your understanding.
