The solution worked. I shut down cygserver (sshd was already down; you can do this from the command line "cygrunsrv --stop cygserver" or from the Start, Run, Services.msc window) and did the setup.exe reinstall of cygwin. Now there are no more silent errors and the icon cache files are in place. It looks like somehow my system didn't automatically replace the dll file when I did a restart. I will remember to use the "cygrunsrv -L" command to list the services and shut them down before my next update. It would be nice if an error message could be added to the gtk-update-icon- cache program to say there had been an error just so this doesn't get missed when running from the command line. Not everyone (though they should) checks the return codes for every command. Thank you Marco (by the way, do you play polo by any chance?). :) You were a great help. -- 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
