Even if the experience is sub par, I just need the program I'm using to be able to use the old cygwin dlls. It's a self-contained application but has old cygwin dll dependences. > >> However, I tried running the legacy setup but Cygwin will not start, >> with >> the Windows 7 Subsystem for Unix complaining of invalid applications and >> .pif files. > > Can you explain this sentence?

Then I run the old cygwin and I receve an error that the Subsystem for Unix applications found an invalid application, and I should check my PIF file. I don't understand that error myself. If anyone knows how I can get this working I'd be really grateful. I don't have access to a virtual machine or another system running an older OS to try installing the old cygwin there.
