*Without* scripting the full installation. From the viewpoint of my install package, it's infinitely easier to copy three files into a temporary working directory, run them, then delete them, without worrying about a full installation of Cygwin. > It's worth noting that the installation you're describing would be > considered a custom one by this list and should come with its own > support channel.

What I'm asking is no more than this: is a full Cygwin installation required in order for bash.exe to use rsync.exe to read from and write to the local Windows filesystem? Or are these two files -- plus the cygwin.dll -- sufficient for this purpose? Thanks for the quick response, by the way.
