It turns out, I was always relying on the option to reboot rather than stop all cygwin processes. That's broken. Execute cygrunsrv --list to see what services running, and then (for example) cygrunsrv --stop sshd to stop all the running services, and start setup.exe from the Windows "run" box and reinstall cygwin. If you get that popup again, find whatever's running and stop it. -Ken Jackson -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
