Re: 1.7.1: Mintty/bash window start: -bash: regtool: command not found
- Original Message - From: Dave Trollope I too have seen this behaviour on both my work and home systems. Whats interesting is I ran cygcheck -c on each when exhibiting this problem and it said OK for the cygwin package. Just had this same behaviour so setup is still broken as is cygcheck unless as Dave asks there is some other flag which may identify this problem?

Re: 1.7.1: Mintty/bash window start: -bash: regtool: command not found
Hi, I too have seen this behaviour on both my work and home systems. Whats interesting is I ran cygcheck -c on each when exhibiting this problem and it said OK for the cygwin package. Is there a check that needs to be added to cygcheck which reports this as a problem? Or perhaps this is not the type of problem cygcheck is designed to detect?

Yes. The problem is even worse: it does not retry to update the in- use files again even after the file is not in-use (including reboot). Scenario: tried to update 1.7.0 installation. Shut down sshd and cron, forgot ssh-agent. Got in-use message saying either shut down the process or you have to reboot. Killed ssh-agent, tried again, setup went ahead. Cygwin was still on 1.7.0. Rebooted: no change. Reverted VM to snapshot, closed /all/ Cygwin process: no problem.

2009/12/23 Lee D. Rothstein: Just installed 1.7.1. Bravo, again. Everything seems to be working okay, but every time I start up a Mintty/Bash window I get the following error message. -bash: regtool: command not found Shortcut is: C:\_0\bin\mintty.exe --icon=c:\_0\cygicons-hippo-vista-0.dll,10 - 'regtool' does not appear in my profile nor my bashrc. Huh? There's a regtool call in /etc/profile: PRINTER=`regtool -q get '\user\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Window\Device' | sed 's/,.*$//'` I can reproduce this as follows: - Leave a Cygwin session open. - Run setup.exe - Select reinstall for cygwin-1.7.1-1. - Click next - in-use files detected appears - Click retry. Strangely, 'retry' is accepted even without closing all Cygwin processes. But it doesn't seem to make a difference to the outcome anyway: regtool and also mount and ps aren't installed.
