Hi,
I recently installed cygwin on my Windows XP but when I try to run
cygwin I get an error saying “This application (bash.exe) has failed to
start because cygwin1.dll was not found. Re-installing the application
may fix this problem.”
I also got a similar message during the initial installation and it
keeps coming up on attempted re-installations (when I tried
re-installing the default packages). After checking the FAQs I
identified the cygwin1.dll in the cygwin package and have tried to
install it specifically on the Select Packages setup page by switching
the toggle button from ‘skip’ to ‘1.5.18-1.’ When I click next, the
setup detects additional dependent packages that need to be downloaded,
but when I continue I get one of the following two errors:
“Fatal error: uncaught exception
Thread: install
Type: St16invalid_argument
Message: URL Scheme not registered!”
or “Can’t open (null) for reading: no such file”
What am I doing wrong? I also found a similar problem in the mailing
list archives, entitled “Error while installing cygwin” from Abhinav
Varshney, dated 11/5/05. Thanks for any help that you can give.
Additional info:
setup.exe version 2.510.2.2
cygwin dll release version 1.5.18-1
How about cygcheck output as requested by:

As to the 'setup.exe' problem, was there anything "interesting" that showed
up in setup.log or setup.log.full?
