- Subject: Mintty.exe not found
Hello everyone,
I have been using cygwin successfully for months, but today it
suddenly crashed and would not open. I tried rebooting my computer,
but all I get is the error "Windows is searching for mintty.exe. To
locate the file yourself, click Browse." I know mintty.exe is the
main shell executable. It opened fine this morning before it
mysteriously crashed. I tried reinstalling cygwin (I did not
uninstall first, but merely ran setup.exe with the same packages that
I used last time I installed it).
Has anyone had this issue before? I've done a fair amount of
searching for this but I haven't had much luck.
Thanks
James Ross
