Spot on. Something has cleared the R/O attrib off all my symlinks for some
reason. Maybe everything in the cygwin tree or the whole disk, but I don't
know what else should be R/O in order to check.

attrib +r *.lnk /s and everything looks normal again... Thanks.

I meant, copy the current cygwin1.dll to d:\mysql\bin\cygwin19b.dll ? I 
know little about how dlls are loaded/linked, will this conflict with 
anything?

Cheers,
