Unable to install Autogrid4

Question

[roybatty269]

I want to install Autogrid and Autodick 4 from the repository:

http://autodock.scripps.edu/downloads/autodock-registration/autodock-4-0-1-and-autogrid-4-0.0

When double clicking in the .exe it gives me the next error (long version short).

...couldn't find Cygwin1.dll

The thing is cygwin1.dll is inside the binaries file of the previously installed MGLTools. Apparently Autogrid installer cannot find it.

Any help would be appreciated

How about using a more recent version that natively runs on Win? http://autodock.scripps.edu/downloads/autodock-4-2-x-installation-on-windows

I suggest you download cygwin1.dll from the same website as binaries, and put a copy of it in the same folder with autogrid/autodock binaries. These are command-line programs (unless something changed recently), so you run them by typing in a CMD window (Command prompt) rather than double-clicking.

I had this problem and I solved it thanks to you :)
