Concentrate on the areas that recently changed, like the software above that you just installed. 'cygcheck -srv' should tell you whether you have multiple cygwin1.dlls and where they are. Also keep in mind that Windows, by default, likes to hide extensions (in the explorer shell) and system files by default. If you haven't done so already, turn these options off in the Windows explorer. > I would like to just do an "update everything to current release" with > setup.exe, but I don't see any way to do that. What's the right way to update > all installed packages? Start 'setup.exe', choose a mirror, "Next" until you can't "Next" no more. I know. It's allot of work.
