Those procedures seem overly complicated. Hmm, do the machines have Cygwin on them and this is an upgrade or is this a fresh install. No previous cygwin case: Run Setup.exe Leave all on default except the chosen packages. Install... Done. Previous cygwin installed case: Remove cygwin. Run Setup.exe Leave all on default except the chosen packages. Install... Done. Special case cygwin installed with packages user wants to keep: User runs setup.exe (on user's time) Changes no options (upgrades all installed cygwin) Run Setup.exe Leave all as is except the chosen packages (if not installed).
