Hello guys, I just want to tell as promised, in case somebody will experience the same issue, that I found out that this error is caused by VMware Tools. But not all versions of it. The rebaseall does the trick on some versions, but on some other (newer) versions, it doesn't have any effect - meaning Cygwin is failing constantly. After I uninstalled VMware Tools, the problem has gone away. VMware Tools is problematic only on Windows 7 (with or without SP1). On Windows Server 2008 R2 everything seems OK.
So, probably, Cygwin guys should add VMware Tools to their "BLODA" (http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda) list. :) Tine Lesjak Faculty of Computer and Information Science University of Ljubljana Slovenia Europe -----Original Message----- From: Tine Lesjak [mailto:tine.les...@fri.uni-lj.si] Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2011 10:46 PM To: vcl-dev@incubator.apache.org Cc: Andy Kurth Subject: Re: Cygwin "linked dll data write copy failed" on Windows 7 virtualized Thank you, Andy. To run rebaseall for each image load is a great idea. Now, I'm trying with this and so far so good. But I don't have much time to spend on testing and this problem occurs very randomly. I'll tell you, when I find out for sure if this is the case. Windows 7 is freshly installed with Windows Defender disabled. I'm aware of "BLODA" (http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda). Thank you again.
