Also, I do not define the packages to install but the categories, so I am not sure how the cygwin installer knows what packages it thinks I need installed since there are none downloaded in the first place. This script worked faithfully for over a year but now doesn't and I was not sure why. I agree the --root command might help trick it into thinking that it is a new install, especially when running my script from a system wtih cygwin installed so adding that might help, but at first glance it didn't seem to change anything since there was nothing of note populated there. I am pretty sure my issue is that there is some sort of conflict or strange condition when I define --catagories as Admin,Archive,Base,Database,Editors,GNOME,Graphics,Interpreters,KDE,Libs,Lua,LXDE,Mail,MATE,Math,Net,Ocaml,Office,Perl,PHP,Publishing,Python,Ruby,Scheme,Science,Security,Shells,Sugar,System,Tcl,Text,Utils,Web,X11,Xfce as opposed to choosing a category individually. I do not really have the time to go through all the permutations of those categories to figure out the problem, so I am fine with my for loop. My problem is probably some crazy, one-off edge case but I am not sure how to diagnose it. If I am doing this incorrectly, I welcome any suggestion on how to download cygwin and install it for offline systems. I really do not want to rsync the whole cygwin repository so my script works for me even if the for loop adds additional time cycling through each category. I have resolved my issue for now. ________________________________ From: cygwin-owner AT cygwin DOT com on behalf of Ken Brown Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2019 12:48 PM To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Subject: Re: Cygwin command line download issue On 10/23/2019 11:33 AM, Jim Rather wrote: > My script is not trying to "install" cygwin.

It tells setup to download packages for later install. It doesn't simply download all packages that you've specified on the command line. In particular, it won't download packages that it thinks don't need to be installed. I suggested using the --root option in order to trick setup into thinking that you're doing a new install.
