Greetings, Graham Perks!

> Steps:

> - Install Windows 7 x64, with VS2008 + SP1.
> - Install WiX 3.5 (Windows Installer builder), from
> http://wix.codeplex.com/releases/view/60102; Wix35.msi.
> - Install cygwin base.
> - Add C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3.5\bin to your PATH
> (via Control Panel)

Do note that this doesn't tell us a thing about exact steps performed.
Did you added that to system or user variables? Before or after Cygwin's own
/bin?

> - Open Cygwin Terminal
> - Type 'candle' - terminal hangs. Apparently no new processes are kicked
> off, per Task Manager.

> With an older cygwin (I had 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 available), and
> candle.exe runs correctly, showing the available command options.

> I've tried working around this by executing 'cmd /c candle.exe ...' but
> wind up with the same result, a hang.

> Any ideas on workarounds or fixes?

%Cygwin%/bin MUST be first in PATH.
