After I installed Cygwin I tried to run (in this order) the cygwin.bat batch file, ash.exe, bash.exe, and Run.exe. None opened; I just got a generic dialog box from Windows saying that there was [A problem running this program. Reinstallation may solve this problem.] (I paraphrase). I tried that. Tried running random .exe files from the bin directory. After looking around at the FAQ, I checked out the setup.txt log; all I found out of the ordinary was a series of pairs of lines along this format: 2007/09/10 22:25:26 running: C:\Cygwin\\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/00ash.sh 2007/09/10 22:25:26 abnormal exit: exit code=-1073741515 Are .sh files the post-install scripts that the install guide mentions? What error does the exit code -1073741515 indicate? Oh, and just noticing the beginning of the log, with a series of failed fopen() calls; I don't think that would be a problem (I was installing from directory), but I really have no idea. How can I get Cygwin running on my system? Thanks a lot, asaz989 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copy of Setup Log (setup.txt) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2007/09/10 22:23:14 Starting cygwin install, version 2.573.2.2 2007/09/10 22:23:14 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/last-action) failed 2 No such file or directory 2007/09/10 22:23:14 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/last-mirror) failed 2 No such file or directory 2007/09/10 22:23:14 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/last-connection) failed 2 No such file or directory 2007/09/10 22:23:14 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/last-cache) failed 2 No such file or directory 2007/09/10 22:23:14 Current Directory: F:\ 2007/09/10 22:23:14 Changing gid to Users 2007/09/10 22:23:14 Could not open service McShield for query, start and stop.
