Customize setup program.

Re: Customize setup program.

Hi, I've never really took that close of a look at the cygwin installer, but I do know that all of the 'major' installers (installshield, nullsoft, etc) usually have a /Q or /S switch for silent installs. You would then need to define a config file with all the parameters for the install. I'm th

RE: Installation corrupt...

The problem is related to Vista security: by default, cygwin tries to put the home directory in c:/Users/, but this is a protected directory (analogous to the old "Documents and Settings" directory in XP). Even as that user, you can't get to much of that data! To get around this problem, simply de

setup.exe version issues

if you run setup.exe and it finds a .ini file that doesn't match it asks that you go to http://cygwin.com/setup and download a newer one, however, the version on there is 2.510.2.2 and if you go to main cygwin.com page and get setup.exe it is 2.573.2.2 also has any thought ever been given to renam

Wish Setup would accept my Perl

I've been using ActiveState Perl and Cygwin together for years and have only one complaint: Setup keeps hassling me about dependencies and I have to make sure always to uncheck Perl in the setu list (and again in the dependency check) or I end up with two Perl installations, which I don't want.
