Re: Cygwin 1.7 Installation on Server 2008 with Terminal Services
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 According to Hortenstine, John on 6/22/2009 9:07 AM: The post install .sh scripts fail to run on Server 2008 with Terminal Services because bash crashes. Crash can be fixed using peflags and setting the Terminal Services aware bit on (solution found on the mailing list). Is there a recommended way to get the Terminal Services aware bit on before the post install happens? Yes - I'm working on repackaging bash so that the correct peflags are pre-set on both libreadline6.dll and bash.exe. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!

RE: Cygwin 1.7 Installation on Server 2008 with Terminal Services
This sounds like a good idea. Since you already did it, maybe you'd like to help by writing such a FAQ entry? Eric Blake mentioned that he was working on the real solution (adding the Terminal Services bit to bash.exe). If you believe it would still be worth while to document this workaround then I will look into it.
