There is no "C:/cygwin/bin". There is an "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions". It contains the keys: "Cygwin", "Cygwin B20", "CYGWIN.DLL setup", and "GNUPro". The "Cygwin B20" just contains the key "B20.1", but neither contain any values. Hmm, the "Cygwin" key has a key "mounts v2" containing the keys "/", "/usr/bin", "/usr/lib", and "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts". All of those have a value labeled "native". The value for "native" in "/" is "D:/Cygwin" which if my installation directory, the values for "native" in "/usr/lib" and "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" are both subdirectories of D:/Cygwin, but for some reason in "/usr/bin" it's "c:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\bin". That's not good if the installer is mixing up old and new installations from completely different paths...
