Sorry 'bout that. Wasn't sure if I should.


There's the problem; here's a possible cause:

602k 2005/06/26 C:\WINDOWS\system32\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0

"cygwin1.dll" v0.0 ts=2005/5/25 19:38
[...]
1828k 2008/05/27 C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0

"cygwin1.dll" v0.0 ts=2008/5/26 20:38
[...]
Warning: There are multiple cygwin1.dlls on your path

I have seen this mention of cygwin1.dll being in the windows\system32 directory several times during cygwin upgrades and installations. However each time the dialog comes up and I choose to delete it, it says it can't. And whenever (including now) I manually check the system32 directory, both from the command line and with Windows Explorer, I don't see the cygwin1.dll file in there. I'm not sure why it's saying it's in there when it's clearly not.

Make sure you're not hiding system DLLs, etc.


However, Warren's mention of Sonic might be of use. I do have a Sonic
product installed, so I'm going to try and get rid of it and try
again. There are a few local copies of cygwin1.dll on my system. (one
for a pdfmerge program I use for instance). Will deleting those local
copies render the programs non-functional?

Keep the path to 'cygwin1.dll' in your path and you'll have no problem.
