I'd vote for cygsetup.exe. I agree that setup.exe is too generic. I always wind up renaming it to something like cygsetup.exe. By the way, I'm not sure if this is an issue, but something with "setup" in it might be desirable as this string will be detected by Vista's installer detection heuristic (scroll down to "Installer Detection Technology" in [1]). I believe Windows 7 does this, too, but I'm not sure. If the requested execution level is specified in a application manifest, though, this isn't necessary. -David [1] http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709628(WS.10).aspx -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
