The short answer is: Get a real shell.This is fine, but how do I use the result in a DOS bat script?`cygpath -w /`
The long answer is: While there may be some hack to trick a Microsoft command shell into setting an environment variable from a command's output, it seems to me that it would be a lot easier to port your BAT file to Bash. There's certainly nothing in the cmd.exe "SET" documentation about doing this.
About the only time that only a BAT file will do is for autoexec.bat.
