Hi Stéphane, I am not sure I understand your distinction. The installation was performed with the following command: setup-x86_64.exe -q -A -L -l "cygwin-repo" -R "C:\Program Files\Cygwin" -P autoconf,automake,bash-completion,binutils,curl,emacs,git,git-svn,gnupg2,inetutils,konsole,mc,openssh,patchutils,perl,python2,python3,rsync,ruby,subversion,tcsh,tmux,unzip,vim,vim-common,wget,xinit,xlaunch,xorg-server,xorg-server-common,xorg-server-xorg,xorg-x11-fonts-dpi100,xorg-x11-fonts-dpi75,xorg-x11-fonts-Type1,xorg-x11-fonts-misc,xterm,zip Setup does not have any option for single or all users. It has only for non-admin installation (-B / --no-admin), where you obviously there is no permission issue, as all files are owned by the installation user. However, following your recommendation, I have tried the following command: "C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin\rm.exe" -rf --no-preserve-root "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Cygwin" which seems to work pretty well so far. Thank you very much.
