I'm using 7zip to compress. setup.exe doesn't read setup.hint files and setup.exe doesn't read 7zip files. It isn't clear why you need setup.exe to do your installation. Why not just run tar? If you really do need to use setup.exe then you will need to create an entry in a setup.ini file. That has a slightly different format from setup.hint although if you look at an existing setup.ini file you should be able to see what is needed. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
