Install cygwin just by choosing 'install from internet' I have tried to start cygwin by using the short cut in the 'start/program' of the windows Also I have tried to run it by using MS dos and executing the cygwin.bat in the /cygwin/ Both gives me the same result: 'bash' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I have check I do have the folder c:\cygwin\bin Will it be because of the bash.exe being missing from the bin? I have tried to download the bash-2.05b-8-src.tar.bz2 and bash-2.05b-7.tar.bz2 from the mirror site, and after downloading it I have uncompressed it by using winrar first then winzip. I set the uncompress path to the /cygwin/ But then another error occurs. When I run the program there comes a dialogue box with title" bash.exe - cannot find component" This applicable program cannot not be executed, because cygwin1.dll is not found, reinstalling the applicable program may solve this problem. I have tried reinstalling cygwin, but this problem still exist. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Markebo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Marvin Ma" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 4:01 AM Subject: Re: Cannot start program after installation > Which instructions? and how do you try to start cygwin? > > How did you install cygwin? > > /Andy > > / "Marvin Ma" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > | I am totally new to use cygwin.
