I added "c:\cygwin\bin;" to the path and that seems to have corrected the problem, thanks for the tip.
Two questions if you have a minute, 1. At first I tried adding cygwin to the end of the path, but that didn't work. I checked my other machine and found cygwin immediately after %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem; I stuck cygwin in as the first entry after Wbem, and it worked after that. I am surprised that it matters where it is in the list. Does it actually matter or do you think I made an error in my first entry? 2. There was another variable on my other machine, Variable name: CYGWIN Variable value: ntsec tty I did not set up that environment and I am wondering if that really needs to be there. Thanks again for your help.
