Yes. But where I'm invoking it from couldn't possibly be the problem since, as I've said, the entire /bin directory just doen't exist. The file cygwin.bat attempts to enter the directory D:/Cygwin/bin, which doesn't exist. (D:/Cygwin is the place I installed it to.) There are a few other bin directories that I do have, but none of them contain bash or (as far as I can tell) any other shell: Cygwin/usr/sbin contains: awk/grcat.exe awk/pwcat.exe bigram.exe code.exe cygserver.exe frcode.exe makewhatis rmt.exe sftp-server.exe sshd.exe ssh-keysign.exe Cygwin/usr/local/bin exists, but is empty. Cygwin/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin contains: ar.exe as.exe ld.exe nm.exe ranlib.exe strip.exe Cygwin/usr/autotool/devel/bin contains: aclocal aclocal-1.8 autoconf autoheader autom4te automake automake-1.8 autoreconf autoscan autoupdate cygltdl-3.dll ifnames libtool libtoolize Cygwin/usr/autotool/stable/bin contains: aclocal aclocal-1.4 autoconf autoheader automake automake-1.4 autoreconf autoscan autoupdate cygltdl-3.dll ifnames libtool libtoolize -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
