Re: 1.7.1: Does 'chere' work with Vista 64b? Can't tell by me.

no such file!
Your cygcheck output thinks there is:
Found: C:\_0\bin\test.exe
Warning: C:\_0\local\Scripts\test hides C:\_0\bin\test.exe
Found: C:\_0\bin\test.exe
Warning: C:\_0\local\Scripts\test hides C:\_0\bin\test.exe
Not Found: test
Someone is confused here. Based on cygcheck's and your conflicting
statements, I can certainly say I am.
There is not now or at the time of my last look a 'test' file there.
$ cd /local/Scripts
$ ls -al *test*

Larry, et al.,
As my initial message indicates 'chere -i', run as Administrator results
in a non-working 'chere' install with the additional
weird properties indicated.
OK, I only traced back as far as
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-12/msg00868.html>,
which didn't specifically mention the simple 'chere -i' variant. So I
wanted to offer
that as an incentive to try it if you hadn't.
Besides I want Mintty and Bash as the window, not the console.
I wasn't recommending 'chere -i' over your preferred configuration. I
was just
suggesting what I had success with in the past and that starting with the
simple is usually a good way to troubleshoot problems.
Yes, I'm familiar with testing, and tried that second.
Are you running Vista 64bit? If not, I suspect the registry keys set in
Vista 64 are not correct as set by 'chere'.
No, actually I'm not, so if you're sure it's a Vista 64bit thing, then
that narrows
the focus and those affected. The closest I have is Windows 7 x64 but
I can't
experiment at the moment with it since it requires a reboot.
I had no problems with Vista 32 bit, that's my only evidence.
