Build Forge windows install does not allow selection of cygwin

frank malin (32●8●7) | asked Aug 01 '12, 12:10 p.m.
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?

 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

Thank David. I see the conf file and will make modifications to the file to support cygwin in the future. Since I could not get this to work out of the box, we had went with using bat for some of the work
