Thanks for the feedback, Andrey!

Yes, I have that file too. The output of 'ls -l' shows:

64-@@# ls -l /drv/c/Windows/\
WinSxS/\
amd64_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.7601.24280_none_145e10148b8de48e/\
gdiplus.dll

gdiplus.dll

(yes, I broke each line up in multiple ones for readability)

The first "1" on the line that is output bij "ls", indicates it is not 
"hard
linked" to a version in c:/Windows/system32.

Michael Wild reported a version of GdiPlus.dll in c:/Windows/system32 on 
his
system. So, I expect "his" system shows a "2" here ...

Henri

Btw, I do not think that the "loss of GdiPlus.dll" on my system explains 
why
I cannot start MinTTY with Corinna's latest cygwin1.dll ...

I believe something else is preventing the launch of MinTTY using the 
latest
cygwin1.dll ...
