setup install on WinVista

Env: WinVista running on vmserver 1.0 hosted on WinXP64
Symptom: "bash.exe has failed" ... cygwin setup is partial, but
reports complete.
I reinstalled several times with different options. Here is what doesn't work.
- Start / Help / "Can my older programs ..." / Run Compatibility Wizard
Mark setup.exe compatible with WinXPsp2; run as administrator
bash still fails
- Explorer c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe / Properties
Same compatibility settings as above.
bash.exe runs when launched directly; setup still fails
- Note: These settings are retained in the registry, not as properties of
the binaries. If you delete the c:\cygwin directory, those settings remain.
cygwin was installed by first hacking the registry:
- Delete those bash.exe and setup.exe compatibility registry keys under
AppCompatFlags\Layers
They have no effect
- Find the settings for ".sh"
There are two "Open With" settings
(a) cmd.exe
(b) bash.exe
Reverse the settings. Perhaps .sh entries were processed first by cmd.exe
WinVista doesn't have a default "Administrator" userid. The userid you
create during installation is given Administrator privileges ... and
something else
Control Panel / User Accounts / Change Security Settings
[ ] Use Account Control (UAC) ... uncheck this to set it "Off"
Rerun cygwin setup. bash.exe still stops responding / fails.
Before clicking on "Close", click "Cancel" on the cygwin setup.
Start a cmd.exe session:
\cygwin\bin\bash.exe
cd \cygwin\etc\postinstall
export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH
Execute these scripts in order:
00ash.sh
00bash.sh
01bash.bat
base-files-mketc.sh
base-files-profile.sh
coreutils.sh
cygwin-doc.sh
findutils.sh
man.sh
passwd-grp.sh
update-info-dir.sh
Exit. Restart cygwin
c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat
This time, the --login flags initialize the /home directories, and you're done.
$ cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out
'id' program not found
'id' program not found
I don't know why "id" is not found. /usr/bin is in $PATH
ddunbar@vistaDrifter ~
$ id
uid=1000(ddunbar) gid=513(None)
groups=0(root),513(None),544(Administrators),545(Users)
PATHEXT = '.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC'
Perhaps ".SH' should be in that list.
Note: I'm only posting this because it might help someone else. My
problem is solved. Please don't bark at the newbies.
