Ok, I read the Faq, I'm sorry for assuming I could just run setup.exe and update my system. I'm a big fan of cygwin, and use it to run an FPGA development environment, it's been great, so I appreciate all the work people have put into it.
I don't know if I like the solution in the faq - a multiple sequence install to get only part of an update, then the rest to avoid deleting new dll files.. Don't I need a roadmap of which dll's to update in which sequence to make sure it all works? Aren't there multiple interdependencies which mean I can't get all dll's installed at the same time? Am I right in assuming I should just wipe the old cygwin install right off the hard drive, and the old install directory with its history data and install completely a new release to avoid the problem? I'll be trying that wipe clean and reinstall next..
