I've always installed to the default locations, and I removed everything from the default C:\cygwin\ folder so I would have a clean install. I also cleaned the registry of everything I could find and used a registry cleaner tool (Advanced System Care One) to try and get everything I couldn't find.
Sorry for the minimal information. I have no idea of what is significant and what is not. I've attached the cygcheck.out file as you suggested. I ran the command directly from the c:\cygwin\bin\ directory. I looked over the file for anything obvious and didn't see much. I did notice that the system says I have ZoneAlarm as a personal fire wall; but I don't and never have used ZoneAlarm. I have used McAfee products and currently use their Security Center. There is a warning about multiple cygwin1.dlls in my path. I've run a windows search (including system and hidden folders) against the whole C:\ drive and found C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll was the only result returned. I also did a search from C:\ (including hidden and system folders) looking for "cygwin" There were some files in C:\Tools\Installed with names like "ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.gtlib.gatech.edu%2fpub%2fcygwin%2f" and I found a folder, C:\Tools\Installed\ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.gtlib.gatech.edu%2fpub%2fcygwin%2f\release\ cygwin, that contains the file cygwin-1.7.1-1.tar.bz2. I assume this is a temporary location used while an installation is in progress. Please let me know if you see something more that I'm missing. I don't see anything that would explain the "*** fatal error - couldn't > >allocate heap," error, or the other errors, from the log file. Sincerely, Brian S.
