When i double click on the Cygwin shortcut on the desktop a new window
pops up and after 2 seconds it hides again. Since i want to use cygwin,
i run start > "cmd" and i tried to lauch bash from the console:
> C:\cygwin\bin>bash.exe --version
>
> C:\cygwin\bin>bash.exe
>
> C:\cygwin\bin>
I also tried a few (maybe another also works) other executables with the
same result. Since i was working on a windows machine, i assumed that i
had to reboot the machine, but this didnt influence the results in any way
I also tried to see if the application needed the path in anyway or the
executable to be started with the current directory specification
> C:\cygwin\bin>bash.exe
>
> C:\cygwin\bin>set PATH=c:\cygwin\bin\
>
> C:\cygwin\bin>bash
>
> C:\cygwin\bin>./bash
> '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
> operable program or batch file.
>
> C:\cygwin\bin>bash.exe
>
> C:\cygwin\bin>
When i look in the taskmanager's processlist, i dont see any cygwin
processes running.
I was happy to see cygcheck.exe working:
> C:\cygwin\bin>cygcheck.exe -c -v -r
