I did an install of cygwin. When I tried to run the shell I received the
problem that cygintl-8.dll was not found. I
tried various solutions including the ones outlined in below messages without
success. Through the process I also found
that many of the dll's where missing not just cygintl-8.dll.
What finally worked was deleting the cygwin directory and re-installing.
Thanks,
Daniel

Hello,
I've installed cywin before on XP and had no problem.
I've just installed cygwin 1.5.23-2 on Windows XP and when I
went to run it I received the msg "Application failed to start because
cygintl-8.dll was not found. Reinstalling application may fix this
problem." I tried that and it didn't.
I have tried Google and the web and searched the mailing
archives but have not found an answer. Could I have a pointer so as to
find where to go to fix this. Thanks in advance
Using Windows Explorer, look in C:\cygwin\bin (or wherever else you
installed it) and check to see if any .dll files have .dll.new instead.
Rename those that do and run Cygwin again.
Actually, it is safer to just reboot your system, which will cause those
dlls to be renamed automatically. If you still have this error then go
to http://cygwin.com/packages/ , search for the package which contains
this file and install it by rerunning setup.exe.
