Errormessage

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.2 RC1 (Build 201206272359) (PHP bundle)
Java: 1.7.0_01; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 21.1-b02
System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; de_DE (nb)

An error message pops up once I try to open the local terminal.
There is no entry in the IDE log.

The error message reads:
"Local Terminal requires cygwin."
"Please install cygwin and restart the IDE."

Cygwin is installed to c:\cygwin\ and the path variable includes c:\cygwin\bin.
It was installed using the cygwin downloader with standard settings.

Cygwin runs without problems in the command-line of windows.

Not a bug, my error: path variable had an error. Always double-check!
