File description

Cygwin® POSIX Emulation DLL, v. 1001.8.0.0, Download Sourcecode.

Notice to users:

Because of the special technical nature of the Cygwin™ DLL in its role providing POSIX-like services on MS Windows systems, only one Cygwin1.dll file can be present on any Windows computer at any time. Presence of more than one
Cygwin1.dll will cause all Cygwin™-based software to become inoperable. It is recommended that you install the Cygwin™
system properly from the installer provided at cygwin.com.

If you choose despite this warning not to install the Cygwin™ system at this time, please remove the Cygwin1.dll
file provided here and reboot your Windows computer before installing the proper Cygwin™ system at any future time.

Using the cygwin1.dll Fixer

1. Download the cygwin1.dll Fixer
2. Run the dffsetup-cygwin1.exe file that was downloaded.
3. Wait for the installation to finish.
4. After the installation has finished the Fixer will automatically launch (this may take a few minutes if you have an older computer). If you have any security software running on your computer (Comodo, ESET, Norton etc.), you may get warnings saying that DLL-files Fixer is trying to connect to internet and/or make changes to your computer. This is because the Fixer needs to contact our server to download the correct cygwin1.dll file, install it in the Windows system folder and then make changes to the Windows Registry. You should allow the Fixer to make these changes, otherwise your problem may not be solved.
5. When the Fixer has installed cygwin1.dll on your computer, hopefully, your errors relating to cygwin1.dll will be gone! You will be given the option to scan your computer for more errros. We encourage you to do so. The trial version of the Fixer will fix up to 15 additional errors it encounters. You can later upgrade to the full version for only $29.95 to get unlimited error fixing and DLL-file downloads.
