You can check this to verify yourself. Why are you directly downloading from the mirror? The point of setup.exe is to do the downloading for you, so that you don't directly have to grab stuff from the mirrors and risk messing up the installation yourself. > > I am also attaching the output of 'cygcheck -svr' on > my computer. Your attachment was not given a text MIME format, making it harder to read. > Path: . > C:\WINDOWS\system32 Not necessarily a bug, but you are inviting problems by putting . ahead of normal directories. It is wiser to put . last, if you want it in your PATH. > \C:\WINDOWS\system32 Hmm, that PATH entry looks suspicious. Maybe it is the cause of your problems. > Cygwin Package Information > Last downloaded files to: I:\Downloads\cygwin_downloads > Last downloaded files from: ftp://ftp.easynet.be/cygwin Looks like you have a normal download... > bash 3.2.15-13 with bash already installed. Therefore, I don't know that I follow your complaint about bash not being available. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
