Users do this to avoid getting personal replies. It keeps the
topic in the forum.

You should be able to do this. It's rare that the mount table format
and shortcuts (the only machine-specific parts) change.

We recommend you run setup from the cygwin home page. It's not big.
Setup can detect when a new version is available, and you'd want that
new version *before* you run setup, not after. Plus, it's not trivial
to coordinate downloading and installing a new version of the program
you're currently running, then restarting it and remembering your
choices (assuming the questions haven't changed).
