I tried removing cygwin1.dll from the bin directory and re-running cygcheck.exe, and it ran to completion. When I ran it, I got the below popup and error, and I have attached the produced output, created with " C:\cygwin\bin>cygcheck -s -v -r -h > cygcheck.out 2>&1". I got the error after the Path: and before SysDir:. --------------------------- id.exe - Unable To Locate Component --------------------------- This application has failed to start because cygwin1.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- garbled output from 'id' command - no uid= found Looking at cygcheck's source, it looks like after displaying "Warning: cygwin1.dll not found on your path" or "Warning: There are multiple cygwin1.dlls on your path", it runs dump_dodgy_apps() (which gives no output when I get cygcheck to run through to completion), and then it runs dump_sysinfo_services() (which gives the output "Can't find the cygrunsrv utility, skipping services check." when I get cygcheck to run to completion). So, I think that one of these functions hangs when cygwin1.dll is present. I'm thinking dump_dodgy_apps. I tried copying cygcheck.exe to other directories and leaving cygwin1.dll in bin, and cygcheck does not hang when run from other directories. ~ Paul
