Ceratinly all the binary files should have been installed, and since cygcheck is a native win32 program and will run no matter how borked the cygwin installation is, you should have no problems invoking it from a DOS shell in the cygwin bin dir.

One other thing: I was updating a previous Cygwin installation. From a 
quick spot-check it seems that the installer didn't update anything: for 
example gcc still says it's version 3.3.3-1 even though the installer 
reports that the most recent version is 3.4.4-1. I also noticed that 
setup.log is dated 6/21/2004 and has no entries in it newer than that date.

All of this leads me to suspect that the installer didn't update anything...

Regards,
Eric
