I had performed this. I started cmd and cd'ed to c:\cygwin. I ran the
cygwin.bat and also manually entered bash.exe --login -i as in the bat
file. Under this circumstance, I get nothing. No window, no error. It
simply returns a new prompt. When I run the shortcut the installation
created, I do get a Cygwin window, but this is the one which disapears
never showing a prompt. The shortcut is configured to run as
administrator. Path was added pointing to c:\cygwin\bin.
This last install I tried, I deleted the cygwin directory as well as the
download. I also selected a different site. And I accepted the default
packages (I did not choose any more to install). This install completed
without a problem, but still gives me the same problem (no cygwin
console).
