Can I just rename my old cygwin directory tree (E:\cygwin) to something else and install the latest in its place? I did read somewhere that you shouldn't have two cygwin1.dlls, hence the question.
Thanks in advance Rob
Yes, you can. If you want to be completely safe, rename the old cygwin1.dll to, say, old-cygwin1.dll (I have a few on my system, no problems yet).
Right. The issue isn't duplicate DLLs. The issue is using duplicate DLLs. Just make sure that you're new installation can't see the old and that you don't run apps that can find the other DLL. There can be only 1 Cygwin DLL loaded at a time.
