Does anyone have ANY ideas what could be causing this.

I am on win 7. I have successfully setup everything using this tutorial:

http://www.kgx.net.nz/2010/03/cygwin-sshd-and-windows-7/

I am up to this command:

ssh-host-config

..but I receive the error in the title. I have searched google and many other places. I cannot find one instance of somebody having this problem.

Any ideas?

You probably forgot to check the openssh. I forgot this when downloading to a folder using the setup.
