Problem:
Trying to install Cygwin/x following install guide
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup.html#setup-cygwin-x-installing.
Does not display selection for X11/X-start-menu-icons, but can continue install. Install then has an error and is not successful (missing windows start menu icons).
Details:
Windows 7 pro 64-bit machine using setup-x86_64.exe downloaded 7/24/2013.
Could see and select xorg-server, xorg-docs, xinit.
Error 134?
No shortcuts under Start | All Programs | Cygwin-X.
Tried to install as administrator (right click setup exe and Run as Administrator) and still missing item X11/X-start-menu-icons and similar error and missing shortcuts under Start | All Programs | Cygwin-X.
Workaround:
Install setup-x86.exe (32-bit), can see X-start-menu-icons, and installs successfully with appropriate shortcuts under All Programs | Cygwin-X.
