Problem 1. I am not able to install Cygwin on Windows 7 x64. I get the
following errors at the end of the installation:
"Postinstall script errors
Upon finishing the installation, I do not obtain the CYGWIN icon on my desktop as I
requested, and the only two applications that appear on my "All
Programs/Cygwin" folder are related to the application urxvtc-X.exe.
Problem 2: I cannot find the application that starts the X-Server. I found the
CYGWIN.bat file and created a shortcut on my desktop. The CYGWIN bash
application seems to be working.
I am using startxwin to start the X-Server; is this the the recommended
method?
Did you use the current startup.exe recommended on cygwin.com?
startxwin works for me, but it's messy with lots of warnings. The new
installation should give you an xwin icon on the startup menu. which
puts a menu icon in the hidden icons, with xserver among the selections.
