Further investigation shows that the desktop shortcut was pointing to the temporary location where the download files came from (something like Y:\work\xfer\cygwin\ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub%2fcygwin\cygwin.bat) but that file is not there. I updated the shortcut and all is well. > -----Original Message----- > From: Gary Thomas [mailto:gthomas@ecoscentric.com] > Sent: 08 August 2002 14:22 > To: Chris Faylor > Subject: Problems with Windows/XP > > > Hi Chris, > > I just tried to install the latest CygWin (1.3.12-4) on my Windows/XP > (Home edition).
