I expect it needs to be seen when the first cygwin1.dll instance starts, so you would need to stop all cygwin processes and servers, just like you do when you run the cygwin setup, for this to be effective. It works for me in both my x86_64 and x86 cygwin installs. I start bash from mintty using the desktop shortcut created by setup (or a copy of it), I have CYGWIN=error_start=d:\cygwin64\bin\dumper.exe, I know this is the wrong dumper for my 32bit install, but I do almost all my work in the 64 bit install, that's not a big deal for me. BTW: I think cygwin1.dll stores the original windows path in the exported ORIGINAL_PATH variable. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on an laptop. $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.1 Rover 2.6.0(0.304/5/3) 2016-08-31 14:32 x86_64 Cygwin HTH Doug -- Doug Henderson, Calgary, Alberta, Canada -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
