      You'll have to check your Cygwin installation and see if it is any good. That error suggests that your Cygwin does not work or is missing that DLL.

        I would install Cygwin this way: https://chocolatey.org/packages/Cygwin

            Right, so that makes me think that your installation is bad. Try using Chocolatey to deploy it.

              Chocolatey its blocking in the Powershell.Whether the cron can be done from the python by calling the .bat file at 8 PM everyday ?

              i have installed the crontab in the python now

                Then deal with this problem. Don't get distracted trying to do something else. What's the error?

                    First, make sure Chocolatey is properly installed. If not, start there.
                    Second, run Chocolatey from an elevated shell prompt, not as a user.

                    And show the error, don't describe it.

                        Can’t just grab a DLL. Doesn’t work that way.

                          I think you skipped all the steps that people were asking you to do.

                            1. Open up an elevated PowerShell window:
                              0_1521728868688_d719266a-deff-4865-a4c4-87fcb6b47528-image.png
                            2. Enter the following command in PowerShell (it's a single line):
                            Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

                              Now I have installed the Cygwin but the cron service or cron.exe is not opening

                              When I have tried to open the pycron-0.91-win32.2.zip which have the Cron.exe but the cron command prompt opens and the file cannot be editable with the timings

                                Wha? It's Cygwin....

                                Step 1: Open Cygwin
                                Step 2: crontab -e

                                That's it. You can't run most of the .exe files included in cygwin as if it's an actual program, it must be run from cygwin like you would in a BASH shell.
