"To the setup maintainers": it would be nice add "src" option on setup.exe, to get the source code of package with the command line. >>> I think it's more problem >> >>I see it as a "bash package" ready to be used by Win Admins ... >> >>than it is worth and is likely to cause >>> confusion within the Cygwin community. >> >>I don't see that point of view: This is not a fork of cygwin, only is >>a "Windows package of cygwin".

And I can add: If they have problems with the "AdminCygwin release", problems not related to the installation environment (msi, install shortcuts,...), they must install cygwin from setup.exe, and try to reproduce the problem.
