Because the first attempt failed, I'd do this: http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all > Microsoft visual c++ runtime library > Runtime Error! > Program: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe > ?

Yet there have been a few similar reports: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Acygwin.com+"Microsoft+visual+c%2B%2B+runtime+library"; Based on them, I'd suggest that you - remove cygwin completely as above, but in step four also remove the download directory; - set a minimal %PATH% before starting setup.exe to reinstall; - run cygcheck -s -v -r as suggested here: http://cygwin.com/problems.html being especially wary of multiple cygwin dlls...and post the output here as an attachment if there are any further problems > I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2003.net and 2005 installed.

One of the messages found by googling as above suggests Dependency Walker. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
