Bad report, many of us have Windows XP sp2 and Cygwin working fine, and sin= ce Cygwin's installation doesn't change _anything_ of the Administrator user i= t is unlikely that Cygwin will do what is described. You'll have to look closer to what they did, what user was loged in to inst= all Cygwin, what else did that user do, what are the "critical file folders" th= ey refer to. Your procedure seems fine, you can install from a CD that contains a reposi= tory of the packages and the setup.exe installer. Then follow a few simple instructions to use the CD instead of a network connection and select first= the basic packages (nothing to select really, just finish the installation) and= any other packages wanted. To really finish the installation they'll probably = have to run some scripts (openssh, inetools, etc. have those requirements).
