When i perform a reinstallation of bash, no /bin/sh is created. I also 
tried to run the postinstall manually but without any luck.
Then i started with making a copy of bash.exe called sh.exe, also 
without any luck.

Is there otherwise the possibility for me to download a base-system 
package? Or should i install some other package to get this postinstall 
triggered to create the /bin/sh
