No, thats not what I am doing.
I install cygwin in XP and build a new setup.exe (with Inno Setup) bundled
with own programs.
This setup.exe is installable and run well within XP as well as within Vista
but not within Windows 7.

Therefore I assume that I can not rebase the cygwin files and estimate that
they would run in XP, Vista and Windows 7.
I would believe I have to make a separate setup.exe for Windows 7 with
cygwin files that I rebased before within Windows 7.
Thats right?

But if this is right, I would wait some month and hope that cygwin 1.7 will
run without rebasing in all three windows versions.
