Andrey - Thank you for the response. I had already tried most of your suggestions in one form or another. So below is my latest try (reduced to the essentials) to find what works and what doesnt. The essential idea was to take the PATH out of consideration by reducing it to a minimum in both the CMD and Cygwin environments. This did not change the result at all. This is expected, because Crystal Reports does not itself depend on anything in the PATH. The user defined functions are dynamically loaded and installed when run under Cygwin but not when run in a Windows command window.
There are differences in the environments (attached) but I dont see anything Cygwin has added or changed that would make a difference. After all, Crystal Reports knows nothing about Cygwin specific environment variables so anything added by Cygwin should not affect the behavior. There are a few things that are different (oddly) , but manually setting these in either environments is a bit tedious. Now there are some details about the way user defined functions are installed that are peculiar. First of all, the CLASSPATH settings are obviously read from the registry by Crystal Reports, not from the environment. This is one of the nasty manual configuration settings I mentioned below. It also reads the path to a JVM .dll from a registry setting and this also has to be set to get user defined functions working. When running the script below in a Windows CMD window, Crystal reports loads and runs, but it fails to load the user defined functions. That works from a bash prompt. From experimentation, I know setting this registry value is necessary as running in the Cygwin environment fails if this is not set. It is possible, that there is something strange about .dll loading which causes it to work in Cygwin but not on a CMD Window, but that seems unlikely. @Echo off set CR_HOME_DIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5 :: Display CLASSPATH echo CLASSPATH echo %CLASSPATH% echo. :: Set and display JAVA_HOME set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_45 echo JAVA_HOME echo %JAVA_HOME% echo. :: Set minimal path and add 32-bit JDK to PATH and display set PATH=.;%JAVA_HOME%\bin echo PATH echo %PATH% echo. :: Display environment. set java.exe -version "%CR_HOME_DIR%"\crw32.exe I am still very puzzled, Andy Hall > Greetings, Andy Hall! > > > This is a puzzle that I have not been able to sort out despite trying all > > sorts of variations.
