From the mailing list it seems that after upgrading Bash-3.0-10,11, the postinstall (00bash.sh) should copy bash.exe to sh.exe. This happened with previous version (3.0-7 or 3.0-8) but not with the more recent, 3.01-10 and the last 3.0-11. For example: $ bash --version GNU bash, version 3.00.16(11)-release (i686-pc-cygwin) Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. $ sh --version GNU bash, version 3.00.16(10)-release (i686-pc-cygwin) Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. So I copy manually or (with the last, 3.0-11) rerun $ /etc/postinstall/00bash.sh.done from the standard bash shell (the link on Desktop) I always install CYGWIN after a reboot, i.e. REBOOT Start/Run/setup.exe without any CYGWIN processes running. Is it possible to fix that postinstall script? Why rerunning the postinstall from bash, it works? The user that does not frequently follow the mailing list, perhaps, does not know that one should manually copy bash.exe to sh.exe.
