tar/gzip outside of bash problem

[Marko Bozikovic]

Hi all,

I've just come across a strange problem. When I try to unpack a tar.gz archive
in cmd.exe, I get an error:

tar (child): gzip: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

The command line I use is:
tar zxvf archive.tar.gz

When running the same command from bash, it works ok.

I have found this mail:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-08/msg00038.html

but it's not applicable to my case, since I have no empty entries in the PATH.

I have updated my packages (including tar and gzip), and the problem persists.
Attached is a cygcheck.out after the update.

Thank you,
