Then I stopped all cygwin processes and copied the etc and usr to C:\Cygwin. But then I got the same warning message the first time I ran my script (but not subsequent times). But I also noticed that I had the new files that should have been in /bin in /usr/bin and so on. I did the manual copy to avoid the in use file replacement problem. I then manually moved the contents of /usr/bin and /usr/lib to /bin and /lib to resolve the problem. So what is the correct way to do the update from the cygwin-inst-?.tar.bz2?
