The file c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe is not there...I got the zip files from a friend, and when I unzip it says the zip file is corrupted. I will try to redownload the whole things and install. Will feedback the result here after that.

I think the reason can be I choose the wrong folder as local folder. <br />
When I choose the correct folder, it will prompt me that some of the file is missing(may due to some file can't be extracted, since the zip file is corrupted).

I have installed the cygwin in Win XP Pro. When I tried to run the cygwin at C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat, I get the following error:<br />
<br />
'bash' is not recognized as an internal or external command,<br />
operable program or batch file.<br />
<br />
When I open the cygwin.bat file, the contents is as followed:<br />
@echo off<br />
<br />
C:<br />
chdir C:\cygwin\bin<br />
<br />
bash --login -i<br />
<br />
What is the problem and how to correct it?

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Unix OS

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
