I realize that it is bad manners to replya to your post, but I haven't got the
hang of the gmane web interface, and I only noticed that other people have a
proplem after I posted this.

To answer the questions that where asked in that thread:

* I downloaded the executable that is attached to the link on
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/setup.exe
* I do not know what is the version of this executable. There is nothing obvious
indicating a version in the executable itself. I checked through the dependency
walker, ran ./setup.exe -version (and all the variants) but nothing was reported
back. Running strings on it didn't help either.

The best I can do is tell you the md5 checksum of the file I downloaded:

$ md5sum.exe -b setup.exe
5a8fdffbb86feb3389704f25876b3afb *setup.exe

Thanks again,
George
