Here is my ENTIRE chgcheck -c output: $ cygcheck -c Cygwin Package Information No setup information found The -s option does provide system information but without the package info but at the end, I get the following: Cygwin Package Information No setup information found Use -h to see help about each section 'id' program not found 'id' program not found /etc/setup.$ type id id is /bin/id $ id uid=1003(paul) gid=513(None) groups=0(root),544(Administrators),545(Users),1005(AcronisBackupServerUsers),513(None),544(Administrators),545(Users),1005(AcronisBackupServerUsers),513(None) The installed.db contains 414 records including the following: INSTALLED.DB 2 base-cygwin base-cygwin-2.0-1.tar.bz2 0 cygwin cygwin-1.7.0-62.tar.bz2 0 cygwin-doc cygwin-doc-1.5-1.tar.bz2 0 Now if we can only have better clues as to what is wrong. The error message "No setup information found" is not a very helpful clue. The same error as my fresh install on cygwin onto my USB Flash drive.
