Re: chere on Win2008 Server - strange behavior

I ran chere as follows:

However, the Windows Explorer context menu reads:

cygwin_bash

not "bash Shell Here", and when clicking on it I get an error dialog:

     [directory in which I clicked context menu]
     This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.
     Create an association in the Set Associations control panel.

I have updated all Cygwin packages to the latest available.
Output of chere -r (bash keys only, all others empty):

Hi Jim,


This has come up a couple of times:
 <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-12/msg00868.html>
 <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-01/msg00056.html> (continued)
 <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-12/msg00157.html>

Basically there's a 32 bit registry and a 64 bit one. chere uses the 32 bit one. This works on 64 bit Windows 7, but not some others.

I thought I'd done a release fixing this. You can try the attached patch, which should make chere play with the appropriate registry.


Dave.
