Newbie: cygrunsrv using strange PATH variable

Fri Aug 27 10:18:00 GMT 2004

After removing a previous Cygwin installation from my system and 
reinstalling from the harddrive using Setup, running cygrunsrv from any 
account (administrator or user) produces a Windows dialog reporting that 
the DLL cannot be found in the path:
	D:\cygwin\usr\sbin;.;<Windows system folders>;.
I'm pretty sure I have my bash startup files in the same state as in my 
previous installation, but here are the relevant bits from these files 
to show how the PATH variable is created:
[/etc/profile]
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH:."
[~/.bash_profile]
PATH="~/bin:${PATH}"
[~/.bashrc]
<empty>
If I echo the PATH variable when I first log in with rxvt, it shows:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINNT:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/ATI Technologies/ATI Control Panel:/cygdrive/d/Program 
Files/Common Files/GTK/2.0/bin:.
My question is, then, where is cygrunsrv pulling its PATH information 
from and how do I get it to recognize the environment of the shell its 
run in?
Many thanks,
Alder
