I installed it on XP (where it's unsupported) with similar symptoms. I specified C:/cygwin-1_5 as root; but a C:/Cygwin directory was created too, and most of the files wound up there. Two iterations of - remove unwanted default C:/Cygwin - run setup-legacy again gave a working installation in C:/cygwin-1_5 , and no C:/Cygwin . > I did NOT clean the registry.

Could this be the problem? Probably not: I've seen these symptoms right after reinstalling the OS. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
