Vista and cygwin1.dll

Vista gives a string of error messages, essentialy saying that I am using wrong cygwin1,dll. There are several sites that claim to fix this problem, but I am reluctant to use them.

Note that this problem is the same with cygwin 1.5.25.15 downloaded today, and with an older cygwin setup copied from my WindowsXP computer.
If there is a job that must be done, ask a busy person to do it.

This is not a Vista problem.

Further comments from glacken.

I had been using cygwin on a 64 bit AMD. I copied my cygwin partition from the AMD-64 to the Intel-64 via a thumb-drive, apparently with no problems.

The fact that I get the same errors using two versions of cygwin makes me suspect that the Intel-64 is the culprit.

The two cygwin versions are in separate partitions: each has one cygwin1.dll, and no cygwin.dll.

There is no such thing as 'cygwin.dll'.

I think you're getting quite confused about the problem you're having.
I recommend that you review what's been said so far and try to follow
the prescribed path for getting help, if that's your goal.
