Windows cmd will launch Windows programs in the registry even if their bin directories are not in your PATH, as will cygstart; otherwise Cygwin requires either that bin directories are in your PATH, or that you specify the full path to the executable when you run any program, and if there any spaces or other shell special characters in the full path, they needs quoted; quoting can use prefix \ or quotes e.g. /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/sbt/bin/sbt '/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/sbt/bin/sbt' as in ls or "/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/sbt/bin/sbt". > Thought about something like iterating over the 'Path' environment > variable in bashrc and adapt the strings to fit for Cygwin.

Cygwin automatically converts all directories in your PATH when you start a process. >From bash, echo "$PATH", to see what Cygwin has done. Base utility cygpath -p allows you to do this on your own Windows environment variables like $CLASSPATH etc. as long as you properly quote the conversion e.g. $ CLASSPATH='C:\Program Files\Java;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java' $ cp="$(cygpath -Up "$CLASSPATH")" $ echo "$cp" /proc/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Java:/proc/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Java > Someone an idea how I could solve this issue? If your scripts use environment variables, they should be careful to enclose uses of those variables in double quotes "$VAR". -- Take care.

Yeah, spaces are hell in paths in the Posix/Linux kind of world.
What you need is to "protect" the spaces with \ or have them inside a quoted
string.
Also, items in a path need to be separated by : and not ;
This mostly has to do with understanding how strings, quoting, etc., work in
the Unix world and for bash in particular. Over time I have developed methods
that work with these things that have space in them. For example, to add
something
to the end of PATH:
PATH="${PATH}:/my/new/thing"
Here the quotes are important! And they need to be " quotes not ' quotes!
( ' quotes would not allow ${PATH} to be expanded, while " quotes do allow
that.)
Etc.
