On a Vista system (I haven't tried to reproduce on XP), I then run the Samba-accessible setup.exe image to install from local directory. This worked flawlessly under Cygwin 1.5. For 1.7, I get repeated "Cygwin Setup" popup windows stating: "Can't open file //\\CAMBRIDGE\Distribution\Cygwin/ for reading: Unrecogisable file format" (spelling reproduced as displayed). Clicking OK button allows setup to continue. Apart from this, setup.exe appeared to function correctly except for not generating a desktop icon.
