I think I ran into the same problem (although after doing a google search, there are lots of different answers). In my case, I was installing using setup-legacy.exe on a new Windows Server 2k3 SP2 VM (under VMWare Server 2). This was the exact same configuration that I had set up several months ago in another VM, and which still works. When I click on the Cygwin Bash Shell icon, or on the start menu shortcut, a command windows would open up and then a pop up with "ntvdm encountered a hard error". I started to compare the working and non-working VM and found that the shortcut on the non-working VM specified the command: "C:\WINDOWS\command.com /E:4096 /c C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat", whereas the working version had "C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat". WS2k3 does not have a C:\WINDOWS\command.com (nor does XP). When I changed the shortcut to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\command.com /E:4096 /c C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat" everything worked great. Now according to my cygcheck -c of both systems, there was no difference in the packages, so this must be a change in the installer. -- 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
