Hi,

I have windows 2008 R2 servers with cygwin 1.7 installed.
When i want to execute the cluster.exe command, I have  :
seberard@FLOSAPPTEST02 /cygdrive/c/windows/system32
$ ./cluster res
bash: ./cluster: No such file or directory

On a DOS prompt the command works..

Then I do a 'ls cluster*' in the bash session :
seberard@FLOSAPPTEST02 /cygdrive/c/windows/system32
$ ls cluster*
ls: cannot access cluster*: No such file or directory

On the CMD session :
C:\Windows\System32>dir cluster*
 Volume in drive C is system
 Volume Serial Number is 8C17-0D89

 Directory of C:\Windows\System32

14/07/2009  03:39           216 576 cluster.exe
               1 File(s)        216 576 bytes
               0 Dir(s)   6 198 706 176 bytes free

Finally I cd to windows directory and do a find cluster.exe :
seberard@FLOSAPPTEST02 /cygdrive/c/windows
$ find . -name "cluster.exe"
./winsxs/amd64_microsoft-windows-f..rcluster-clusterexe_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.760
0.16385_none_6edae2036546d986/cluster.exe

I added this directory to the PATH variable :
seberard@FLOSAPPTEST02 /cygdrive/c/windows
$ PATH=$PATH:$(dirname $(cygpath -ua $(find . -name "cluster.exe") ))

Then I tried to run the cluster command :
seberard@FLOSAPPTEST02 /cygdrive/c/windows
$ cluster res
The resource loader cache doesn't have loaded MUI entry.
The resource loader cache doesn't have loaded MUI entry.

Questions :
1 - Why are some system32 commands seen in a dos session and not in a cygwin bash session ?
2 - Why doesn't the cluster command not working (Error : The resource loader cache doesn't have loaded MUI entry )

I think the cluster command is not the only one missing :
Bash : ls /cygdrive/c/windows/system32/*.exe | wc -l  ==> 322
CMD  : dir c:\windows\system32\*.exe | wc -l ==> 427

The cluster command is working as expected on a bash session when I'm on a windows2003 server 

Thanks for your help

Sven-Eric
