I want to use vinagre or remmina VNC clients but they fail to run:

$ vinagre
C:/cygwin64/bin/vinagre.exe: error while loading shared libraries: cygvte-2.91-0.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$ remmina
C:/cygwin64/bin/remmina.exe: error while loading shared libraries: cygvte-2.91-0.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I can't find anything on cygvte, I installed vte using apt-cyg but that didn't fix the issue.

How to acquire the required resource?

Update! I followed DavidPostill's answer, but it turned into a Dominoes! I kept resolving the dependencies and it kept asking for more, I installed these:

libvte2.91_0 libtelepathy-glib0 libspice-client-gtk3.0_5 libspice-client-glib2.0_8 libsecret1_0 libgtk-vnc2.0_0 libfreerdp1.2  libdbus-glib_1_2 libavahi-ui-gtk3_0 libavahi-gobject0 libavahi-common3

Now it came to the point where the error doesn't even indicate what's missing:

$ vinagre
C:/cygwin64/bin/vinagre.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I continued with Remmina:

$ remmina
C:/cygwin64/bin/remmina.exe: error while loading shared libraries: cygssh_threads-4.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I installed libssh4 but it doesn't resolve the dependency, it throws the same error above.

I can't find anything on cygvte

You need the GTK+ terminal emulator widget package.

How can I find out which package GTK+ terminal emulator widget is in?

The easiest way to find the package containing a particular command or file is to use the Cygwin Package Search page:

  1. Open the Cygwin Package Search web page in your web browser.

    enter image description here

  2. Enter the name of the program you are looking for (cygvte-2.91-0.dll).

  3. Press "Go" on the web page.

    enter image description here

  4. Click on libvte2.91_0-0.50.2-1 as this is the most likely match.

    enter image description here

    This confirms that the GTK+ terminal emulator widget is the correct package to install to resolve your missing file issue.
