While there _should_ be no requirements, one has to be realistic and
recognize this possibly beeing a setup - or postinstall - malfunction
triggered by the "nonstandard install location".
By all means, there might even be the 'classic' problem; A (windows) user
name with at least one space in it.
To get further - beginner level assumed;
I'd suggest to launch cmd (command for W95/98/Me - "fergus" didn't mention
which "OS" it was) from the start menu or whatever.
At the prompt type 'H:' and then 'cd \MyOs\bin\' - hitting enter on both,
and do this:
H:\MyOs\bin> dir cygcheck*.*
[output, hopefully listing cygcheck.exe - it is in the 'base' package]
If the cygcheck.exe is available, then do:
H:\MyOs\bin> PATH=.;%PATH%
H:\MyOs\bin> cygcheck -svr >\cygcheck.txt
... and then follow instructions at the "Problem reports:" webpage; i.e.
APPEND the cygcheck.txt file to an email and send it here.
