Thanks Duncan,
I thought there must be more to it than that - if I run bash.exe then
nothing works. Even basic commands like cygcheck and ls return
'command not found'.
Other ways to start also fail, eg startxwin.exe then a window opens
and immediately closes.
The setup log seems fine to me (no errors) but I don't really know
what to look for.
Hi,
After performing a standard (default) install using setup-x86.exe,
there are no shortcuts in the start menu or desktop. I don't really
mind but don't know how to initiate cygwin without it.
Its a work pc, which means I have little control over the system, and
it has been meddled with quite a bit. Running XP. It quite common
for this to happen on installing software, and I usually just make a
desktop shortcut. Must be unusual for others because I can't find any
reference to it in the archives.
Can you please tell me how to run cygwin without the shortcut?
Thanks
I make shortcuts to /cygwin/bin/bash.exe and /cygwin64/bin/bash.exed (I have
both). Perhaps there is a better way to do it, but that works for me,
Cheers ... Duncan.
