Thanks Marco, I will read and adapt the script if necessary.

Gilbert
PS: I don't want the cygwin64 directory, so as to avoid looking for everywhere I have used a hard cygwin path.

Hi Gilbert,

No need to rename the directory as the Cygwin 64 bit will be installed in C:\Cygwin64 folder

Attached the script that I use to reinstall my system on different computers.
It can be adapted to duplicate the 32bit in a 64 bit installation

Assuming your file list is not longer than 32K, this should work :

  chmod + x cyg-reinstall.sh
   sed -e "1d"  /etc/setup/installed.db | sed -e "s/ .*$//" > filelist.txt
  ./cyg-reinstall.sh -f  filelist.txt
  cp cyg-reinstall-x86.bat cyg-reinstall-x86_64.bat
  sed -i -e "s/setup-x86.exe/setup-x86_64.exe/" cyg-reinstall-x86_64.bat

if the  "filelist.txt" is too long you can split in multiple chunks, like:

   grep -v "^lib" filelist.txt > nolib-list.txt
   grep "^lib" filelist.txt > lib-list.txt

I usually need to split mine, as my installation hit the 32K limit of command line

 wc -l *.txt
  2608 filelist.txt
  1297 lib-list.txt
  1311 nolib-list.txt

 ls -1s *.txt
40K filelist.txt
20K lib-list.txt
20K nolib-list.txt

Regards
Marco
