Yes.  It installs the initial mount points.

They would only need to set up their mounts.  The cygwin.bat file sets
their path, assuming they all see the share on the same drive letter.

No.

> *	Does Setup remove old files during update?

No.

> *	Can Setup update itself?

No.

> *	What is the latest version of Setup (I have 2.6)?

2.29
