I ran the setup piece via 'Run as Administrator'. I am getting the same error message about bash.exe "...program to stop working correctly... notify you if a solution is available..."
When I launch bash.exe, I get the bash prompt, but no further. Is there some manual work I can do to 'repair' the installation? I recognize that this is caused by Vista and not by Cygwin. What are the basic directory permissions that apply in a successful cygwin setup? (I am considering the following root-level directories: /bin, /etc, /home. /lib, /proc, /srv, /usr, /var - if there are other directories I should consider, please advise. I am not so concerned about sub directories at this point -- there may be other users directories in /home; those are not a concern yet.) I imagine if I add /bin to the path I will get a little further than I am -- are there other directories that I should not overlook? Jeremy >>On Dec 6 07:31, Jeremy T.
