Hi Eric,

Thanks for your help.

If I want to distribute one command for the end user to use and don't want 
to have
a full installation. Also, I don't know if the user has the cygwin 
pre-installed or not.

Are you sure PATH works?
In the PATH c:\mycgwin is ahead of system path and x:\cygwin\bin is even not 
in the path.
It still failed with the same error.
