Installing multiple packages from the the command line used to work, but no longer does for me. It installs the first requested package, but none of the rest.

Specifying multiple --packages options gives no warning or error, but only installs the last requested package. -P --packages Specify packages to install PS C:\cygwin> C:\cygwin\setup.exe --quiet-mode --no-shortcuts --root C:\cygwin --local-package-dir C:\cygwin\LocalPackageDir --packages netcat,procps Starting cygwin install, version 2.680 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/net-proxy-host) failed 2 No such file or directory io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/net-proxy-port) failed 2 No such file or directory io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/extrakeys) failed 2 No such file or directory io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/chooser_window_settings) failed 2 No such file or directory Current Directory: C:\cygwin\LocalPackageDir PS C:\cygwin> User has backup/restore rights Changing gid to Administrators Could not open service McShield for query, start and stop.
