Hola,
I'm trying to install cygwin on a windows 2000 terminal server (remote
administration mode).
I'm using:
- Dell poweredge 1750
- Cygwin setup.exe version 2.510.2.2
The install finishes fine with no errors, but when I go to double click
on the Cygwin icon, i see the black DOS box for a split second, then its
gone.
Going in via cmd.exe and trying to launch anything does nothing:
C:\>cd cygwin\bin
C:\cygwin\bin>bash --login -i
C:\cygwin\bin>bash --help
C:\cygwin\bin>
I've tried the install 3 different times now, on 2 drives and the same
thing happens.
Searching around shows people have successfully installed cygwin on
windows 2000 server so I'm assuming that's out.
Any ideas?
Sure. Read over:

Pay particular attention to the part about *attaching* the output of cygcheck.
You'll also want to look at the output of /var/log/setup.log*. Look for any
error messages at the end suggesting that any package didn't install properly.
Look for scripts in /etc/postinstall/ without a .done extension. If there are
any, just rerun setup without selecting any new packages and then recheck.
All the postinstall scripts should have run and been renamed *.done.
