Scenario: Ssh from Linux machine ( ex: build account) to Windows machine ( Ex: Adminisrator account) with the help of cygwin and compile some c/c++ code using Microsoft Visual studio 2005. It ends with the error
fatal error C1902: Program database manager mismatch; please check your installation
This seems to be bug in VS 2005 or may be security enhancement feature. But this problem never use to occur in older VC6 (VS98).
Solution: Since we are using "build" account in Linux machine and connecting with Administrator account to Windows, which resulting in this error. The solution is to use the same account as in Linux machine on Windows too.
Create "build" account on Windows machine and add it to administrator group. Install cygwin with build account itself, run ssh-host-config file, start sshd service (net start sshd).
Make sure "Cygwin sshd" service is started with build account. You can verify it by Right click on "My computer" -> Manage -> Services and Applications -> Services -> Cygwin sshd.
If it is not running with build account (it may be running with "Local SYSTEM" instead), then you need to follow the instructions given in below link to make it run under "build" account.

It resolved this problem for us.
