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.
How do you switch to the new startup.exe? Every time I try to use the
Cygwin startup.exe, it tells me it has found a new file that might not
be compatible with the startup.exe I'm using, but does not give enough
useful information on how to switch to a newer version.
