title: Cygwin on Windows 7 died waiting for dll loading
body: <p>I have been getting the infamous "died waiting for dll loading; no child processes" error on my Cygwin installation (64-bit) on Windows 7. It all started when I attempted to install an update to Cygwin. I haven't installed any other software on the Windows 7 machine, so I don't believe that there is a conflict.</p>
  
  <p>I have read the various entries about running <code>rebaseall</code>, which I have run, and that hasn't helped. I did see one post where someone said that they had figured out what to do when <code>rebaseall</code> doesn't work. But, the link in their post that pointed to the hinted at solution was dead.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried removing the <code>/etc/rebase.db.x86_64</code> file and running the <code>rebaseall</code> again.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried removing my <code>C:\cygwin64 directory and C:\cygwinInstall</code> (that's where I have it put the downloaded files) and completely reinstalling, but that hasn't worked either.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried loading the 32-bit version of Cygwin. That installation cannot even run the <code>rebaseall</code> command (it gets the fork error).</p>
  
  <p>I am hoping that someone can provide another option for me to try.</p>
