Rxvt on Windows 7 RC

[Ian Puleston]

Hi,

I just tried cygwin (1.5.25) on the Windows 7 RC for the first time. Seems
to work fine from a Windows cmd window, but I can't get it to run an rxvt
window launched directly from Windows. In previous Vista and XP
installations I used a Windows shortcut to run the command
"C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e /usr/bin/bash.exe --login -i" but that is not
working on my Windows 7 RC system - the rxvt window opens then immediately
closes. If it is reporting any error message it doesn't stay open long
enough for me to see it.

I get the same if I enter "C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e /usr/bin/bash.exe
--login -i" in a Windows cmd window, but if I launch cygwin in a cmd window
and then enter "/bin/rxvt.exe -e /usr/bin/bash.exe --login -i" in bash then
that works.

Any ideas on what the problem is or on how to get some info on what's going
wrong when it fails?

Ian
