Subject:	Re: Running out of ptys

Corinna,

Thank you very much!

Unfortunately I ran into a problem.

Referring to FAQ 2.19. "How do I install snapshots?"  I downloaded:

     2015-04-07 10:25:12 UTC x86_64/cygwin1-20150407.dll.xz

unxz'ed it, and installed it in c:\cygwin\bin

When I tried to run "Cygwin Terminal" I got:

     "mintty.exe - Application Error
      The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)."

Do I need to install "everything"? (E.g. x86_64/cygwin-inst-20150407.tar.xz)
