Please excuse my newby-ignorance, but I can't work out how to progress this without some help
Steps taken - Downloaded setup-x86_64.exe - Run setup-x86_64.exe using admflma (administrator account) - Logged in as netflma (my usual windows login) - Unable to start Cygwin from desktop icon - unable to find mintty.exe - Able to start Cygwin from command line - (C:\cygwin64\Cygwin.bat) - Error message is Your group is currently "mkpasswd" .. .. - mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd - bash: /etc/passwd: Permission denied - drwxr-xr-x+ 1 admflma mkpasswd 0 22 jan 13.39 etc - If I run the console as user admflma, then no errors are reported - Log in to windows as admflma and start Cygwin from desktop icon - unable to find mintty.exe - The objective is that any user on the computer can run Cygwin, but particularly netflma (user without admin rights) - My guess is that the windows permissions are wrong for C:\cygwin64. I have attempted to give all rights to all users, but this has not solved the problem /Martin -- 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
