Ok, now I see what's happened. The command line you have suggested 
should work (I haven't tried it owing to not being able to access this 
system now, and by working around the issue anyway)... but the 
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-1.7-1 will be superfluous to the command line. In 
fact, it was the same for my command line, because I actually mean -R to 
specify that root, instead of the lower-case -r that I had used. I guess 
setup works out (uses the last installed to root, perhaps) the intended 
Cygwin installation dir if it is not specified (correctly) on command line.

Thanks again,
Shaddy
