So here is the deal, I am trying to run cygwin through poderosa, and I always get the error saying that "procedure entry point _fopen64 could not be located in the dll cygwin1.dll"
This suggests you have a *really* old version of cygwin1.dll loaded in memory. If true, sounds to me like you're the victim of a 3PP <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#3PP>.
So being a good guy, I google for this problem, figure out its an issue of cygwin1.dll replica's and set out to find one. None of my windows search or google desktop search showed me two replicas. Frustrated, I uninstalled cygwin by removing it directory and deleting the registry entries. I then fresh installed it and was still running into the same issue.
Not surprising since the problem isn't coming from your Cygwin installation.
So this time a do a find -name thing at the top of the cygwin tree. Here it returned me two places where cygwin1.dll was... /bin and /usr/bin. However, it seems /usr/bin is just a hard (symbolic?) link to /bin and I cant actually delete anything in there since it is pointing to the only copy of cygwin in /bin.
Why are you looking inside your Cygwin installation for the rogue cygwin1.dll? Do you think that the Cygwin installer is going to install two incompatible versions on your system? Look for cygwin1.dll in *other* locations on your disk. When you find one outside of the Cygwin install tree, remove it.
