I am very suspicious of anything that Windows 7 might suggest with respect to Cygwin. On what basis does Win 7 claim that Cygwin was not installed correctly, and how on earth can Win 7 hope to correct this for you? I would suggest un-installing Cygwin, then from Cygwin setup once again installing Cygwin, and then strenuously avoiding any suggestions from Win 7 that it knows better than Cygwin about Cygwins own installation. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
