The setup run is triggered automatically and all developer workstation going to be install identically. However, when the setup window is open and the install is in progress it is possible for the user to cancel it.

This is function that doesn't currently exist, and while you could
probably disable the "Cancel" button, I don't think you'd be able to
reliably prevent a determined user from breaking out of the
installation process.

If you're interested in adding it this function, the source code for
the installer is accessible via
https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup.html. Cygwin is an open
source project; two of the common phrases on this list are "Someone
has to do it" () and "Patches thoughtfully considered". If you or your
employer aren't willing to write and submit the patches yourselves, if
you ask on this list you might find other developers willing to do
work on a contracting basis. You *might* get lucky and find someone
who will do it without pay, but I don't imagine this is the sort of
thing that anyone would be interested in doing for free.
