I don't see why. If the directory is duplicated precisely I don't see how it could matter. >If I download the normal setup.exe to a 64-bit windows install, will it >automatically install the 64-bit version?

You can't use it to change a Cygwin installation from 32 - 64 bit though. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
