Heh, yeah, normally that's indeed what you do. However, in this case I asked him to start it from the terminal to make sure that it wasn't affected by anything suspicious in his system PATH.

Clearly having Cygwin in his path messed things up.

I think checking for a proper setup in the installer would
be a good idea, like checking if 'cygpath' runs and if so,
die with the request to cleanup the system PATH first.

The problem was not too hard to solve, but the first
impression was not optimal.

Where would I have to look to add something like this?
