If you need to hear something emphatic as well, then let me say there is
no way to get a particular configuration back using just "setup.exe".  The
old "Prev" button, which the documentation still refers to but you won't
find unless you have an old "setup.exe", was a kinda-sorta attempt at this
but in the end, not really.  If you want/need to install specific versions
of specific packages, the best way to control this is with your own mirror
or local package directory.  I expect you have some idea of how that would
work, given your familiarity with Cygwin.  Of course, in your case, this is
likely not useful information to you in your current predicament, since you
probably don't have all the previous versions of the packages you'd like to
install.  But it's something to consider for the future and in a more
general sense if this is something you need to control.

I understand, though the changes that you've noticed happened pretty
recently.

In that case, enjoy. ;-)
