I'm going to guess but have no fact to back it that the reason is due to the fact you're executing in a 32bit environment and the shortcut the tool makes needs a 64bit enviroment. This may only be resolved by a 64bit version of Cygwin. > > I am using an alternative as suggested: > http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-05/msg00232.html > > It works OK, but isn't nearly as useful as mkshortcut: lnk files > handle rather differently than url files.
