Other than that, look at your event log and see if there is any further information about the failed service startup. You mention "host-ssh-config", is that a typo? the script is named "ssh-host-config". Its failure is very strange, perhaps you have a corrupt= ed installation, you are not using text mode, are you? (in setup you have to s= elect if Cygwin is installed for all users or not, text- or bin-mode, best result= s are with "for all" and "binmode (a.k.a. Unix)"). You should run ssh-host-config in debug mode (i.e. ssh-host-config -d) and = see what was the last thing it did, why did it exit? was there an error message?
