Hello.

Open cmd.exe, enter "python".

Does it find and run python? If not you need to install python and make 
sure that the location of python.exe is in the PATH environment 
variable. (Also, in this case this has nothing to do with cygwin.)


By the way, to set up and run TaskCoach neither cygwin nor make are 
required.

Also see the thread here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/taskcoach-dev@yahoogroups.com/msg00372.html

(The thread is missing one email from me, probably because of the 
attachment of the python script to set up TaskCoach after checkout.)

Here are the instructions by Jerome:

###

IIRC, what you need to do after a fresh checkout (assuming you're  
running Windows and don't have GNU make intalled) is something along  
the lines of

cd icons.in
python make.py

cd ..\templates.in
python make.py

cd ..\i18n.in
python make.py

cd ..\icons.in
python make.py

After that, you should be able to start Task Coach by typing

python taskcoach.py

in the top directory, assumming you have all the dependencies  
installed (only win32all IIRC).

Of course, if you have GNU make in your path, it's as simple as

make icons i18n
python taskcoach.py
