How can I use my cygwin terminal on Windows 7 to execute Windows programs as I would normally do using the Windows cmd terminal?
It seems like there are programs that only work when executed from the directory where the .exe file lies. I would like to be able to execute them from where the input data files are, but it seems adding them to the $PATH won't work, probably due to dir names like /Program Files (x86)/. Any ideas?

What problem are you facing? That normally works out of the box?! – mpy – 2013-06-02T15:51:39.773

1And these work with
cmd? Can't you justcdinto the directory in cygwin (cd /cygdrive/c/...) and start the program there? – mpy – 2013-06-02T17:25:02.373
