For future reference, you can avoid unintentionally updating by clicking 
the View button until you get the "Partial" view.  This is a list of the 
packages that will be updated.  If you don't want to update a package, 
click on the version number in the "New" column until it says "Keep". 
See 
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html#setup-packages 
for more information about how to use setup.exe.
