Thanks. I hope this message makes it. > On Thu, 16 Oct 2003, Rao, Shrisha wrote: > > I cannot open a bash shell when the setup hangs, because Windows reports > > a "Missing Shortcut" called cygwin.bat.

However, strangely, the "kill -9 ..." sequence you suggested itself hangs within this bash shell. (Actually, when the shell comes up it does not know the right PATH, but this was easily fixed with PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH".) Some commands work within the shell and some don't; e.g., tar and bzip2 work separately but tar -xjf doesn't (no error, just hangs). Likewise, latex hangs saying "kpathsea: running mktexfmt latexfmt".
