Could you be any more vague? What does the error say exactly? What does the event log say? What does /var/log/sshd.log say? > it doesnt ask me to compile the sshd binary and it doesnt offer to install > sshd as a system service. Compile the sshd binary? No package does that. sshd.exe is installed when you install the openssh package, there is no compilation to speak of. The ssh-host-config script should normally offer to install the service, but if there is an existing service called sshd (possibly a remnant from an old install that was not completely removed) it will not try to overwrite it. In short, you'll have to give us more information (such as the output of cygcheck as indicated at http://cygwin.com/problems.html) if you want help.
