The setup: 1) Full install of HLDS, lets call it hlds1 2) Second complete install of HLDS in separate directory, call hlds2 I have no problem executing the hlds1 or hlds2 by themselves. But when I try to run both at the same time the 2nd one does not run at all. If I kill hlds1 and run hlds2 it starts right up. If I run either hlds1 or hlds2 and try to even execute the other one from file explorer I get an error "Unable to load engine, image is corrupt." Although if I run hlds1 and hlds2 from file explorer they both run fine. I have seen on the net claims that cygwin has: "NOTE: There are issues with the cygwin.dll and separating simultaneous user space. Use with caution!" They suggest using SSH.COM's SSH solution for this issue. Has anyone else run into this? I tried to even run firedaemon from cygwin but cannot do it without admin so thats out. I also tried to run psexec but it does not work under cygwin either apprently. This approach was to try and get cygwin to start hlds as services by a non Admin user to get around the problem. The main thing I am trying to do is have a normal (non Admin) user run hlds.exe and have multiple copies of it run on the same machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
