The crash is not nice and I'm just looking into that, but the path you
specify with the -R option is supposed to be an absolute DOS path, e.g.
C:/cygwin.  Please try this, it should get you further.

Thanks for the tips.. It avoids the crash. By the way, what is the 
option to set in order to avoid the Progress popup window?
