cygwin does not run quietly if --quiet-mode given on commandline

[Thomas Schweikle via Cygwin]

Hi!

starting cygwin setup-x86_64.exe with parameters:

setup-x86_64.exe ^
  --verbose ^
  --delete-orphans ^
  --local-package-dir "C:\WINDOWS\ccmcache\4r\installdata" ^
  --no-desktop ^
  --proxy "<proxy-host:proxy-port>" ^
  --root "C:\cygwin" ^
  --upgrade-also ^
  --quiet-mode ^
  --wait

It does not matter if "--quiet-mode" is given or not: in all cases cygwin setup opens a window showing setup progress and the real bad thing: allows the user on whom desktop the window is shown to stop the upgrade! I need a really unattended upgrade with some log written what setup had done. And is it a bug? As far as I could find "--quiet-mode" means no window, no messages at all - am I wrong and all those interpreting it the same way?
