Hello,

I am an enthusiastic user of Cygwin since a few years but now I cannot
download a functioning 32-bit setup-x86.exe from cygwin.com.

Indeed, the webpage "https://www.cygwin.com/install.html" reads:

"About 32 bit Cygwin
The limited address space of 32 bit Windows means that random failures
in the fork(2) system call are more likely. Therefore, we recommend
using 32 bit Cygwin only in limited scenarios, with only a minimum of
necessary packages installed, and only if there's no way to run 64 bit
Cygwin instead.
You have been warned. If you're still sure you really need a 32 bit
Cygwin, and there's absolutely no way around it, you may run the
setup-x86.exe [link to https://www.cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe]
installer. The signature can be used to verify the validity of this
binary."

However, when downloaded on a 32-bit computer from the abovementioned
link, setup-x86.exe yields the following error message:

"Cygwin is not supported on 32-bit Windows."

(I need this support to run legacy apps and do some low-level back-end
development). Moreover, since a few months/weeks, downloading with my
version setup-x86.exe (2.905) is impossible: after selecting a random
download website, the following error message appears:

"The current .ini file requires at least version 2.924 of setup.
Please download a newer version from
https://www.cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe"

Where can I find a 32-bit version of 2.924 setup-x86 ?

If 32-bit support is really not possible, would that be at least
possible either to:

1) Offer a truly functioning 32-bit version of setup-x86.exe, distinct
from setup-x86_64.exe, or
2) Open a legacy 32-bit download site where all the 32-bit compliant
packages would be stored.

Thanks for your consideration.

Best regards,

Olivier Souan
