Hi,
  I just re-installed the latest cygwin to have cron installed. Then i run 
the following command to install the cron service,

        cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D

  After that I run,

        crontab -e

  But I get the following message,

        bash-3.00$ crontab -e
                        no crontab for linq - using an empty one
                        /usr/bin/vi: No such file or directory
                         crontab: "/usr/bin/vi" exited with status 1

  I wonder what the problem is, I can start vi by running, /usr/bin/vi.

  I also tried "export EDITRO=/usr/bin/vi" and "export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim", 
neither one works.

  Any suggestion?
