<question><para>My installation on a Terminal Server machine goes wrong. What can I do?</para></question>
<answer>
<para>The problem is that Terminal Server machines do some compatibility
checks when running applications which are not marked as
"Terminal Server-aware", and this compatibility check seems to be buggy,
leaving parts of the application in a non-executable state. Curious enough,
this only happens if DEP (Data Execution Prevention) is turned on for
all applications.</para>
<para>So far, only few Cygwin packages have their binaries marked as
TS-aware, which means there's a good chance that the postinstall scripts
during the installation will break, and that after installation you
can't start a shell, etc.</para>
<para>So, for the time being, here's how you install Cygwin on a Terminal
Server. First, switch DEP to "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs
and services only" and reboot the machine. Then install via setup.exe.
You can leave it at that and run the Termin Server in the aforementioned
DEP setting. Or use the peflags tool from the rebaseall package to set
the TS-aware flag in all executables, switch DEP back to "Turn on DEP for
all programs and services except [...]" and reboot again. However,
please keep in mind that a package update might re-install a binary
with the TS-aware flag switched off again. So you will have to re-use
the peflags utility once in a while.
