I'm trying to write an automation script that works on a number of machines. I know that on all machines Cygwin will be installed, but I cannot guarantee that (1) it will be in the same location on each PC, or (2) that it will be in PATH.
There's HKCU\Software\Cygwin\Installations, but that seems to use \?? prefixes on the PATH, which I'm not sure how to interpret (I know about \\?\ prefixes, but this is different, I assume?), and it also includes some non-Cygwin things (one machine I have, has \??\C:\PROGRA~1\ConEmu\ConEmu So far, the best I can see is to try every entry in there, strip \??, and look for a cygwin1.dll, and use the first entry I find that works. But that seems a bit arbitrary. Is there a better way?
