Hello,
Someone can help me about asymmptote installation? I nstall the last version 2.49, and the asy program don't work at all! What happen?
The patch fixmem.reg don't solve anything at all.
How I can solve correctly this problem on windows 10 (and I use TeX Live 2018).
Very thanks for your attention and help.
D. Collin
Here are a few questions and ideas:
1. Are you using 32-bit Windows or 64-bit Windows?
2. Do you have more than one version of cygwin1.dll on your computer?
3. If so, try copying the extra version of cygwin1.dll to the Asymptote folder (in %ProgramFiles%).
4. Alternatively, try replacing cygwin1.dll in the Asymptote folder with up-to-date versions (I will update these in the next release): www.math.ualberta.ca/~bowman/32/cygwin1.dll or www.math.ualberta.ca/~bowman/64/cygwin1.dll
5. Note that OpenGL 3D graphics is no longer supported under the legacy 32-bit Windows Asymptote build; if you are in this situation, it is time to upgrade to a 64-bit operating system!

Dear John,
"Note that OpenGL 3D graphics is no longer supported under the legacy 32-bit Windows Asymptote build"
BTW Apple marked OpenGL as depricated in latest Mac OS 10.14 (September 2018):
"Deprecation of OpenGL
Apps built using OpenGL will continue to run in macOS 10.14, but these legacy technologies are deprecated in macOS 10.14. Games and graphics-intensive apps that use OpenGL should now adopt Metal."

Yes, that was an unfortunate decision by Apple, which runs counter to the spirit of platform-independent computing. Apparently OpenGL will be available for at least a few more years on Apple computers; after that I suppose MacOS users will simply have to switch to another platform. Maybe Asymptote's webgl output format will be a solution for those users (coming this summer).

what is the general design of the WebGL output routine: do you work with "raw" WebGL, or extend some existing JS library with routines to handle your beloved remeshing of NURBS?
What about export in some editable 3D format. I believe I can hack together X3D export with resilts similar to 3D PDF output (no per-vertex color, no remeshing). But if you internalise exporting problems and start thinking not in terms of drawing primitives on the screen, but constructing a scene graph to be fed to some viewer library, implementing exporting will be much less a hack.

Thanks for your answers, but, asymptote still do not work on my windows 10 x64 system. I replace cygwin1.dll, but nothing do at all. Why?
Why I cannot use asymptote on my PC?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I search copy of cygwin1.dll. I delete all and i put one copy in asymptote .
Asymptote now are ready and I can compile some document (but not all, and probably because they are ancient...). Thank for your help!
Kind regards.

Did you search for all copies of cygwin1.dll on your system (as the error message suggests?)
I search copy of cygwin1.dll. I delete all and i put one copy in asymptote .
