Actually the target environment are machines where users don't have admin rights so Cygwin needs to be installed without administrator privileges. I see in the documentation and FAQ that the --no-admin command-line option should allow this. When I run setup-x86_64.exe with the --no-admin option in silent mode it actually seems to launch normally and starts downloading packages. After downloading the last package there is a pop-up dialog box titled "mount" with the error "Access is denied." displayed and setup stops. The exact command-line looks as follows: setup-x86_64.exe --no-admin -q -l "C:\Download\GWP\cygwin\cygwin-setup\packages" -s ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/cygwin/ -R C:\temp\cygwin -P cvs,file,make,mintty,openssh,rsync,vim -d I have tried the same with setup-x86.exe and this one seems to work fine. So for the moment I just install Cygwin x86. Is this a bug in setup-x86_64.exe or is this "as designed"? In the FAQ I could read that silent setup and no-admin setup should be supported for both, x86 and x86_64. best regards, Rainer -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
