In the past 4 weeks, I have seen this problem reported on other non-Cygwin forums about 4 or 5 times. Upon investigation, in every case, one or more DLL files had been reduced to zero length files. It was possible that the actual damage was caused during the previous use of the affected application, rather than at the time of the reported error. In every case, the following additional circumstances were true: - the anti-virus was McAfee; - the operating system was Windows 10 version 1607; - after the application of the August 2017 updates for Windows 10 version 1607. Do those circumstances apply in your case? -- Robin Walker -- 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
