Anyway, the final experiment I can try now is to run "mount" from the network install, and see it it makes Cygwin uninstallable again, without a Windows reinstall.
Okay, after doing running the command:
mount
from the network-installed Cygwin, on the local machine the registry is changed to have keys under HKCU and HKLM Software->Cygnus Solutions-> Cygwin->mounts v2-> (Default) REG_SZ (value not set).
I didn't think to check the actual value until after starting the next test setup.exe run, at which point I noticed that there's also a Software->Cygnus Solutions->Cygwin->Program Options that is the same: (Default) REG_SZ (value not set).
But although the installation paused for a minute after the Download phase, it's gotten past where it did before, and is happily installing packages.
Dunno. Maybe this is just a weird PC. I can't reproduce the problem.
