I tried to reinstall the coreutils and cywin and it is getting worse because now many commands like ls, echo, uname, mount and umount cannot be found. I cannot rename/delete the cygwin root folder. Any thing I can do manually to stop it from uninstalling rxvt which causes the setup error or any work around solutions like unzipping the indivually packages? Is my only choice is to delete the registry tree Software\Cygnus Solutions under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and/or HKEY_CURRENT_USER and reboot the machine for me to rename/delete cygwin root folder? It seems drastic. Thanks
