Hello Andy, Kiran- The Watcher account (and some of the others listed I think) was a special pre-created account on the image we were provided to use for our VCL installation - we were given a Windows 2003 image with some baggage and random things installed, and that's what we are trying to get working on this install.
I thought that I had configured a new "root" user for that Windows image and for cygwin and installed the proper scripts into the home space of the root user of cygwin. However, I must have missed a step or many steps or all of them ;) Andy, perhaps you could detail the process of creating a new root user for Windows and getting that root user properly configured in Cygwin? When I did it, I used tutorials found on Google and such to help out, but that could be what messed things up (I'm still puzzled by other things not existing now on the image though). Maybe you have something from a previous e-mail you can cut and paste for us so you don't have to spend a lot of time typing that out. And I know you're busy, so if you don't have time Kiran and I will figure this out ourselves. Thanks for your help!
