OpenSSH

[David Stavert]

I am trying to add a Windows 2003 application server to SIM. I can't install the HP distribution of OpenSSH because my application server already has a cygwin application installed. Can't have two cygwin dlls pairs installed. Has anyone come across a solution or have any suggestions.

Hello,

Only one Cygwin-based program can be installed on a system at any given time. The installer checks for the Cygwin registry keys and refuses to install if they exist. Installation also fails if the full Cygwin distribution, or any other software that uses Cygwin, is installed. Multiple Cygwin installations not being able to coexits.

Search your system for the Cygwin registry keys, as well as the file cygwin1.dll. This file's location may give you some idea of what software is installed that is conflicting with OpenSSH.

I know which application is using CYGWIN. This is an application server and the application is the one that uses it so I can't change that. What I want to know is what anyone else might have done to solve the issue. Dose SIM rely on the mount points or can they be removed. Can openssh be replaced. My problem will not be an unusual one. CYGWIN is used quite frequenttly for recompiled UNIX applications running on Windows. I have several such servers.

I am having the same problem. Has anyone found a workaround?
