I tried peeking inside the .sh files but they're greek to me. It's only 2 lines! :-) Neither of which contains obvious code that would cause the above to occur, and both of which succeed when run manually: $ /usr/bin/mkshortcut -P -i /usr/bin/XWin.exe -n Cygwin-X/XWin Server -a /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe /usr/bin/run.exe mkshortcut: Saving C:\Users\Ryan\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Cygwin-X\XWin Server.lnk failed; does the target directory exist? $ /usr/bin/mkshortcut -A -P -i /usr/bin/XWin.exe -n Cygwin-X/XWin Server -a /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe /usr/bin/run.exe The first failed only because I hadn't called mkdir -p first; the second succeeded and I now have the shortcut.
