MATLAB: Do I receive an error message about ‘cygdrive’ when launching a remote analysis in PolySpace Server for C/C++ 4.2 (R2007a+)

5804idmantisPolyspace Client for C/C++

When launching a remote analysis I get the following error message:
 /cygdrive           user         textmode
 Cygwin drives must be mounted in binary mode (text mode detected).
 To convert to binary mode at a cygwin prompt enter:  mount -b -c /cygdrive

Best Answer

This error is thrown due to the fact that cygwin has been installed for a single user instead for all users. To resolve this issue, use a Windows registry editor such as regedit to move the "cygnus solutions" keys to the "all users" section:
Move they keys from HKEY_CURRENT_USER to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Administrator privileges are required to edit the Windows registry. We recommend to create a backup of your registry settings before you start to modify it.
