+1 for removing the binary and the reference. These days my setup for MSVC doesn't use msys: it's basically this PS1 fragment (which assumes chocolatey is installed): $utils = 'StrawberryPerl', 'git', 'winflexbison', 'diffutils', 'vim' choco install -y --no-progress --limit-output @utils $cbin = "c:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin" Rename-Item -Path $cbin\win_bison.exe -NewName bison.exe Rename-Item -Path $cbin\win_flex.exe -NewName flex.exe cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan EDB: https://www.enterprisedb.com
