[framework] Running Framework2 and Framework3 for Windows on the same box

[Jerome Athias]

This is a possible workaround (maybe not the best!)

Do a search to identify Windows programs that use cygwin1.dll and have 
their own versions of this dll.  Rename their versions as something 
simple (ie cygwin1X.dll) and modify the Windows path to include 
c:\cygwin\bin (default path if you used setup.exe of cygwin), or 
whatever bin directory is off the cygwin root directory.   This prevents 
multiple versions of the cygwin1.dll from running at the same time. 
To get to the Windows path, right click "My Computer" icon, "Properties" 
option, choose "Advanced" tab, then "Environment Variables" button to 
get to the User variables.  Then either define a new variable PATH or 
edit it to include c:\cygwin\bin (directories within the PATH variable 
are separated by semi-colons).. 

(Add or set the Windows environment variable HOME  to  c:\ -- this is 
where you wind up when you type cd  at a Cygwin prompt.)

... you could also use Linux ;-X

good luck
