I think the following is obvious but to make sure 
and for those not experience with such issues:

Wouldn't we also need to stop all Shells or any other
CygWin process?

And:  If there are not CygWin processes (services,
shells, other apps) is it considered a bug if Setup
cannot complete the update?


A related but really different question:

I had to use source to compile a module with different
from default options.

How can that module be installed so that Setup will 
STOP trying to replace it?

(...and thus not need me to uncheck the item, or 
ensure it is unchecked, on each  run of Setup.

Is this procedure described somewhere (FAQ etc.)?
