Windows 7, no administrator rights.

<setup.exe> version 2.761 seems to work fine.

As discussed previous in another thread, Windows 7 won't run <setup.exe>
without administrator rights.

Download and run:

/usr/local/bin> curl -R http://cygwin.com/setup.exe-o getcygwin.exe
/usr/local/bin> chmod 777 getcygwin.exe
ls -og getcygwin.exe
/usr/local/bin> ls -og getcygwin.exe
-rwxrwxrwx 1 696861 2011-12-22 16:46:20 getcygwin.exe
/usr/local/bin> file getcygwin.exe
getcygwin.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386 (stripped to external PDB), for MS Windows, UPX compressed
/usr/local/bin> ./getcygwin.exe
Starting cygwin install, version 2.763

Watching it in taskmanager shows that it sits there for a while, then
briefly goes away before reappearing again.

Using cygstart does not work, nor does using start from a cmd prompt.
Starting from Windows Explorer eventually gives an error message.

    getcygwin.exe has stopped working.
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    Please closed the program.
    +----------------------------+
    |  => Close the program      |

Best wishes,
