Build Forge windows install does not allow selection of cygwin
I am installing a build forge agent on windows machines : win-bfagent-7.1.2.000016.exe
- windows 7
- windows xp
I have cygwin installed on the machines.
When the install panel:" IBM Rational Build Forge Agent Configuration" panel appears, the "Enable Cygwin Support" is greyed out, and can not be selected.
I've read: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.jazz.install.doc%2Ftopics%2Ft_rtcz_agent_install_win.html
Is there something that must be done so that the install knows that cygwin is on the system?
It has been a while since I installed cygwin on the machine, and assume that i had taken the default values for the installation, is there special install options (other than the DOS/text line ending) that need to be selected?

Accepted answer
Is this the first time that you are installing the Build Forge Agent on this machine or is this an upgrade scenario?
I believe that you can adjust those settings after the installation by modifying the bfagent.conf file. You can find the reference for it at the following location: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/bldforge/v7r1m3/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.rational.buildforge.doc%2Ftopics%2Fagent_configure_bfagent_conf.html
