Very strange, the differences you sent don't show an invalid script at all. One of the 2 files has \r\n endings (that's the reason for the first 2 differences) but as long as they are being executed by command.com it doesn't matter.

You can create a shortcut to startx.sh and then edit its "Properties" so the target ends up like: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin/ bash --login -c startx [Ref:http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.xfree/16545] I use a shortcut to start X Windows only (no xterm): C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -dpi 100 > Since > startxwin.bat fails with the same error as startxserver.bat, I > can't just use that on the desktop instead.

If your path includes the location of Cygwin's binaries you can use run as above. [snip] > There are differences, but none seems significant vis a vis > this particular problem.
