Clearly, you're suffering from phobias which this list is ill-equipped to help you resolve. Your best bet in that regard is to seek help from the appropriate forum. In terms of setup and BSOD issues, Rob is quite right in pointing out that setup may have once or may now tickle an O/S bug on your system that causes a BSOD for you but this is an O/S issue, not a setup or Cygwin one. You want to talk to M$ about that. If setup is or was tickling this bug for you, there is no permanent damage as a result. It just means that you have to reboot after it runs. But I fear I'm stepping into the area of your phobia so I'll abandon this argument. With respect to the idea of waiting for someone to document installation steps so that you can follow them, I fear again that you've missed the point of this project. If you're interested in finding this information out and really want the answer, it's best to pursue it yourself. Chris Faylor has posted one possible script to do this. Setup source is another avenue. Wait for whatever and whomever you want if that suits you but I implore you to not bug the list about it in the meantime. As near as I can tell, your phobias have backed you into a corner and you prefer to complain to the list about your resulting helplessness rather than taking some action that will resolve your problems.
