I am using Cygwin 3.1.4-1, bash 4.4.12-3 and dash 0.5.9.1-1.
I have a setup.exe in the root of my Cygwin installation, C:\cygwin64, for
example.
If I set PATH=C:\cygwin64;C:\cygwin64\bin, I can run setup.exe from bash.
C:\>set PATH=C:\cygwin64;C:\cygwin64\bin
C:\>bash
$ echo $PATH
/:/usr/bin
$ setup-x86_64.exe --version
Cygwin setup 2.903
However, in dash:
C:\>dash
$ echo $PATH
/:/usr/bin
$ setup-x86-64.exe --version
dash: 2: setup-x86-64.exe: not found
Am I misusing Cygwin trying to run executables from the top of the
installation? Is it expected to all shells would behave the same?
Did you happen to notice that in the second case you misspelled
the name of the executable, using a - instead of an _ ?
