Run cygcheck /bin/cvs.exe to find out, it'll tell you if anything's missing.

Re: path and .exe issue after initial installation
Could it be that the package/s have been downloaded badly? I've asked Cygwin to first download without installing the packages to my local server and only then ran the cygwin installation and asked it to install from the local downloaded directory. If a package was broken, would I know about this?

Re: path and .exe issue after initial installation
I don't see this package as even been downloaded. I thought I had set it to download everything... why am I missing it in the first place? I don't even see it in the local package folder I had cygwin install download to.
