Re: Ediff error -- Permission denied (Win8)

Thanks for the reply, Eli.

I tried to diff files in several directories, and I got always the same
permission denied error.

I have c:\cygwin\bin in my PATH, and win7's Search finds diff.exe in
c:\cygwin\bin
Also, if I eval-expression (getenv "PATH") in emacs, it does contain
"C:\\cygwin\\bin". 

How do I get the value of exec-path?  I thought PATH was copied into it
anyhow.  If I eval-expression (getenv "exec-path") it returns nil, but
presumably this is not the right way of getting the value of exec-path?

The diff that works is the cygwin diff. I evoke it directly from cmd.exe,
not in the cygwin bash shell.
