I'm not at all sure how Windows and/or "setup-x86*.exe" would react to that. Besides, since "cygcheck" apparently finds the relevant information in some file, and "setup-x86*.exe" apparently finds the relevant informat- ion in some file, too, it would perhaps be way easier to just provide the correct file in the correct location on the new machine. Any ideas along these lines, anybody?
