Lucas checked lots of software on the bots to see what was the same and what was different. Here's what he found:


Apple-windows-5 had windows updates set to install automatically.  I changed it to download but ask before installing.
Apple-window-s6 has windows updates disabled.  I changed it to be the same as #5.

Apple-window-5 has firewall/virus software installed
apple-windows-6 did NOT have anything.  I installed MS security essentials to match apple-windows-5.  (note, the c:/cygwin path is excluded from scan, just to help out on perf)

Apple-windows-5 does NOT have bonjour installed
Apple-windows-6 has bonjour installed.  I have UNINSTALLED bonjour to make it match apple-windows-5.

Apple-windows-5 has Java 6 update 20.
Apple-windows-6 did not.  I have installed Java on #6 to match #5.

apple-windows-5 has MS Direct X (august 2009)
apple-windows-6 had no directX.  August 2009 is not available, so installed Feb 2010, closest available.
I don't think this will make a difference...but trying to get everything to match as close as possible.

Apple-window-5 has the windows full install of Python 2.5.4, and Python 2.6 Twisted-10.0.0
Apple-windows-6 does not have this...  this could be an issue.
I've never installed the full blow windows install of python before.  I believe this is only used OUTSIDE of cygwin.
Currently, when running inside cygwin, both machines report python version 2.6.5

Apple-windows-5 cygwin reports version 1.7.5
apple-windows-6 cygwin reports version 1.7.8
