I have tried cygwin1-20100820.dll.bz2 and cygwin-inst-20100820.tar.bz2,
but it is even worse: Cygwin.bat DOES NOT start at all and Windows
complains with a message like this:
...Cannot find entry point CreateProcessAsUserW in KERNEL32.DLL...
So I have tried with the DLL suggested by Corinna in [*]: Cygwin.bat
starts, but it shows the same problems I am flagging.
Ciao,
Angelo.
