Hmm, so it basically works when you're not using the wise installer.
so i need to know WHAT the installer do in that moment

I didn't think cygwin actually used the windows path. It should be setting the unix 'PATH' environment variable in /etc/bash_profile. I haven't looked at the installer, but perhaps it is setting its own path environment which doesn't include where you installed cygwin.
from cygwin
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/e/programmi/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin:"E:/Programmi/Norton SystemWorks/Norton Ghost/":/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
is the same Path of windows xp. only c:\ is replaced by /cygdrive/c/, and e:\ /cygdrive/e/

The windows version of Coda is not closed source, it builds from the same source tree as the unix versions. Only the source for the kernel module that hooks our userspace code into the NT/2000/XP filesystem cannot be released at this time.
ok, more clean to my mind now

The wise installer is there because we don't really want people to hack their registry settings by hand and to get a somewhat standardized installation. This makes it easier to reproduce problems.
ok, good answer, but for now, can you provide me (also in attachment if you want)
the install procedure? i need to find out why gzip is not found...
by now, i am downloading the coda 5.3.19 source, and i am trying to compile it
in windows. but i'm sure i'll cry for all day :)
