Re: Vista x64 STARTUPINFO Issue

As I understand it, cygwin doesn't yet work on Vista x64. Does anyone know
if a fix is under development?

From what I have read, it is related to Windows no longer using the
STARTUPINFO reserved parameters to pass information onto the new process.
I have no idea exactly how cygwin does this, but I've done similar things
in a more portable fashion using named pipes (named after a newly created
GUID), so whether that would be a solution or not, I don't know...

From the above, it's seems like you've read this thread but if not, this is the current state of affairs:

If you have some ideas that you'd like to propose, feel free. :-)
