$ realpath /cygdrive/s/ado/msadox.dll /cygdrive/s/ado/msadox.dll <====== IMO the problem is actually here $ realpath msadox.dll /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common Files/System/ado/msadox.dll Both paths should start with /cygdrive/c, and then those would be identical (and, hence, I suppose for the purposes of the OP). A substed drive is nothing BUT a symlink, should be treated no differently than /cygdrive/s -> /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common Files/System Because even Windows shows you the same: S:\: => C:\Program Files\Common Files\System Since realpath is supposed to resolve all symlinks, it should never show any /cygdrive/s in the resultant path.
