Hola,

I'm trying to install cygwin on a windows 2000 terminal server (remote 
administration mode).

I'm using:
- Dell poweredge 1750
- Cygwin setup.exe version 2.510.2.2

The install finishes fine with no errors, but when I go to double click 
on the Cygwin icon, i see the black DOS box for a split second, then its 
gone.

Going in via cmd.exe and trying to launch anything does nothing:

C:\>cd cygwin\bin
C:\cygwin\bin>bash --login -i
C:\cygwin\bin>bash --help
C:\cygwin\bin>

I've tried the install 3 different times now, on 2 drives and the same 
thing happens.

Searching around shows people have successfully installed cygwin on 
windows 2000 server so I'm assuming that's out.

Any ideas?
