I was surprised as well when I saw that it worked. Normally I do put the redirects after the command. This was a copy-n-paste job. I moved them to the end to be consistent. > if "%ERRORLEVEL%" EQU "0" goto :endif_check_admin > > should be EQL, not EQU.

From "if /?": where compare-op may be one of: EQU - equal I changed to the "if [not] errorlevel " syntax to reduce the dependancies on extended mode. Note that there are probably other places that depend upon extended mode. > References to _TEMPFILE MUST be quoted. You're referring to a filename, > which may contain spaces. You are correct. I normally quote filenames when expanding them, I just missed that one. Fixed. > You SHOULD NOT run rebaseall manually, unless you really need to do so. I added the call to rebaseall because of this post by Corinna: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-08/msg00320.html Installing more packages that are forgotten in the first run of setup.exe is what I (and I suspect others) do all the time. I would love to get some feedback either way on this issue. > Sorry for my terrible english...
