Cygwin is installed automatically by the program. The user does not need to interact with setup.exe. This is done by downloading and starting setup.exe programmatically, with some command line options. My problem: I need to specify the Web-proxy. I have looked for command line parameters, environment variables, registry entries and files, but have not found anything. How can I programmatically specify the Web proxy for invocation of setup.exe? There had been discussion on this previously: http://www.nabble.com/-Patch--Proxy-command-line-argument-td14989738.html http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cygwin.com/msg35204.html Many thanks for your help Christoph -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
