You can install the rpm command from the Cygwin distribution, you don't = need an external package, just use setup.exe and choose "rpm" to install. 2. Your original quest, installing tinyos, will probably fail. I don't know what tinyos is but if the rpm package has any compiled code in it, it is compiled for a certain operating system and processor, most probably linux/= intel and will not run under Cygwin/intel. If the contents are java (code and/or jars) then it probably works. Why don't you install the Cygwin specific package?
