Hmm I tried it but it seems more broken than that: patb@DESKTOP-REQM4CB MSYS ~ $ pacman -Syuu
patb@DESKTOP-REQM4CB MSYS ~ $ which pacman /usr/bin/pacman patb@DESKTOP-REQM4CB MSYS ~ $ file /usr/bin/pacman /usr/bin/pacman: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64 (stripped to external PDB), for MS Windows patb@DESKTOP-REQM4CB MSYS ~ $ pacman -hl It's weird, some things (the built-ins?) seem to work, and others do nowt. 'env' works, 'vim' does nothing. There don't seem to be obvious dependencies missing. This looks OK: patb@DESKTOP-REQM4CB MSYS ~ $ ldd /usr/bin/pacman ntdll.dll => /c/Windows/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x7ffca2930000) KERNEL32.DLL => /c/Windows/System32/KERNEL32.DLL (0x7ffc9fea0000) KERNELBASE.dll => /c/Windows/System32/KERNELBASE.dll (0x7ffc9f500000) msys-2.0.dll => /usr/bin/msys-2.0.dll (0x180040000) bcrypt.dll => /c/Windows/SYSTEM32/bcrypt.dll (0x7ffc9e7e0000) I tried re-running the powershell script, but it doesn't think it has anything to do. Perhaps recent Windows 10 updates have brought to quarantine the pacman executable, or something weird like that. I guess I will have another play-around & try and see what's going on later. Thanks again for the advice, David.
