I added "c:\cygwin\bin;" to the path and that seems to have corrected the
problem, thanks for the tip.
Two questions if you have a minute,
1. At first I tried adding cygwin to the end of the path, but that didn't
work. I checked my other machine and found cygwin immediately after
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
I stuck cygwin in as the first entry after Wbem, and it worked after that. I
am surprised that it matters where it is in the list. Does it actually
matter or do you think I made an error in my first entry?
The order doesn't matter.
2. There was another variable on my other machine,
Variable name:
CYGWIN
Variable value:
ntsec tty
I did not set up that environment and I am wondering if that really needs to
be there.
No, it's not a requirement. 'ntsec' is default now, so that setting is
redundant. 'tty' is only needed if you require pty emulation in a
Cygwin shell started from a Windows cmd.exe window. See:
