that means that you've installed cygwin and that the cygwin version of
the sh.exe interfers with the one delivered with the installer.
You don't need cygwin for LyX. If possible deinstall it, deinstall
also LyX completely after that, reboot and then reinstall LyX.
This should fix your problem.

No I do not have an installation of cygwin on that machine
I did some more test:
- even if I remove %PATH% and start sh from the lyx141\bin directory I
get the same error message
- I tried an installation on a Win2K machine and it works without any
problem
- I copied all the exe and dll files from that installation to the first
machine but there I get still the same error message and I cannot start sh
