I tried that. But cygcheck doesn't work either, for the same reason.
'cygcheck' is a Win32 app which doesn't rely on 'cygwin1.dll' or any of
Cygwin's added features. If it won't work, then something in your system
is inhibiting it. Perhaps you have <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA>?
The problem seems to be that it can't run under the shell, because the
shell is broken.
I ran it in a command window.
C:\cygwin\bin>cygcheck ./ls.exe
.\ls.exe
.\cygwin1.dll
C:\Windows\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
C:\Windows\system32\ntdll.dll
C:\Windows\system32\KERNEL32.dll
C:\Windows\system32\RPCRT4.dll
C:\Windows\system32\Secur32.dll
.\cygintl-8.dll
.\cygiconv-2.dll
All of those exist.
My wife went searching and found a recommendation to install cygwin for
"myself only" instead of "all users', on VIsta, but I haven't been
offered this option since my first install (if ever).
I hate Vista. And I'm not too fond of HP either, right now.
But I should note that I had no problems with cygwin on my previous
(Win2K) machine, which also ran NAV and lots of other potentially dodgy
apps.
