Invalid program file name, pif file

- Subject: Invalid program file name, pif file
I recently got Cygwin working (Rather then download, then install, I
installed from internet) And after I installed it, I tried running Cygwin.pif and got
this error:
C:\CYGWIN~2\Cygwin.pif
Invalid program file name, please check your pif file. Choose "close' to
terminate the application.
I look at the pif file, and noticed it was pointing to the wrong directory
where command.com was (C:\WINDOWS\command.com) and changed that to where it was.
(C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\command.com) and when I then tried to run it, I got this
error in the DOS window:
Bad command or file name
How would I fix this? I have been searching the archives, but found nothing
so far. I am still searching now. Also, I am using Windows XP.
Thanks,
-Zeno
