Re: Ugrent !! Reg. Executing the EXE generated by Cygwin

There can be only one cygwin1.dll on the machine, put where it's supposed to be
by using the Cygwin setup.exe.  You can't just put another copy of cygwin1.dll

Yes, you can.

Dynamic-Link library search order
   A system can contain multiple versions of the same dynamic-link
library (DLL).

...if you know what you're doing. If you don't, keep only the one that 'setup.exe' installs and keep it where it installed it. Doing anything else assumes that you know what you're doing and that you don't have to query this list when something goes wrong. That's why we recommend to folks that inquire to keep one copy only. Any other configuration is unsupported by this list due to the complexities it introduces.
