No, thats not what I am doing. I install cygwin in XP and build a new setup.exe (with Inno Setup) bundled with own programs. This setup.exe is installable and run well within XP as well as within Vista but not within Windows 7. > > It is my assumption that the 'rebase' utility affects the installed > Cygwin files, not the downloaded setup files.

I would believe I have to make a separate setup.exe for Windows 7 with cygwin files that I rebased before within Windows 7. Thats right? But if this is right, I would wait some month and hope that cygwin 1.7 will run without rebasing in all three windows versions. br Matthias -- Don't Panic -- 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
