Hi, I believe the conflict that I'm seeing now is one that has been addressed but I can't find that discussion. I would prefer not to integrate Metasploit into my full cygwin environment if I can avoid it. Hopefully someone can give me a quick pointer to it. For more than a year, I have had both Metaploit installed and an independent cygwin installation and they worked fine together. Beginning about a month ago, I could no longer run msfupdate. The only significant change that I can remember was changing the order of PATH names but changing back to the original order did not help. Initially I was getting a cygwin1.dll conflict message. Eventually I reinstalled both packages (upgrading from Metasploit 2.4 to 2.5 in the process). It still won't work and now gives me the error: bash: /home/run_msfupdate: No such file or directory So it appears to be starting up the full install of cygwin rather than the Metasploit version. I think I remember seeing references to this problem but I can't find them now. If it helps, my current PATH is: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adaptec Shared\System;C:\Program Files\PuTTY;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\AGL;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;c:\cygwin\bin Thanks. Sorry to both the list with this. Jim
