- Reply-to: xenicus at dissolve dot to
I found a copy of cygwin in c:\program files\ which did not work
for obvious reasons. I deleted it and cygwin setup installed cygwin
just fine. I'm not sure how cygwin got into that directory but I
suspect another application like Java developers kit or something
similar installed it there.
In anycase, it runs just fine now.
Thanks,
X
