And another thing - by posting erronous information you're not helping anyone to find the solution to your problem. You're just fooling the people. What I mean is that if the system() call returns 127 (0x7f) the error meaning is exec*() call failed not ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND as you state below. Note that cygwin is POSIX emulation layer - you should not read winerror.h to find out the info on the error code but the system() call man page.
