No, it says "The main purpose of this update is to allow Cygwin to run 
correctly on Windows 2008 Server". It does not say "Without this 
update you won't even be able to install Cygwin on Windows 2008 
Server."

Anyway, I installed Windows 2008 Server about one week ago and at this 
time I had not read about a major issue preventing installation. I 
didn't report that because I was not sure if I missed a thread about 
this topic. Therefor I'm simply asking: was it known here before 
yesterday that one cannot install Cygwin on Windows 2008? I'm just 
curious.
