It's the org's problem if they want to spend a lot of time and money packaging a frequently updated non-Windows install process, which is a Unix-distro-like rolling upgrade. If they are taking on the role of a distro they should really be packaging each package install, with its dependencies, separately, like any other downstream, and doing their own setup. If they were smarter, they'd just package Setup with a fixed mirror, or maintain their own local mirror, and package updating from that mirror using Setup, maybe even become and offer a public Cygwin mirror? It's the requesters' and packagers' problems to read and understand the Setup process, FAQ, and postinstall scripts - probably why it takes 2 months - getting some random Windows package scripter to understand a Unix-like net install of packages and dependencies - and stuff that into an msi that works reliably under SCCM. Get them to start packaging the current release and upgrades right away, otherwise something else may have changed by the time they start! And they should always be packaging installs using the defaults, like C:\Cygwin64 not %ProgramFiles%, if they want to avoid problems with users running programs and scripts. Quite a few Windows packages still want their own directory under root, as they prioritize their own stable approach over MS Windows approaches. Easier for the little guys with simple products, and the big guys making lots of millions mainly on Windows, but lots of others go their own way. Following "standards" is all very well, but what product manager is going to be able to get signoff on spending a year and $1M or more to change a complex working product and install process to the MS approach? Product users don't care as long as the result works on their desktops, and they won't notice or pay more for a Windows logo - that only "benefits" the marketing department, so they should be footing the bill for making and testing the product conforms. -- Take care.

As Marco said, read the Cygwin Time Machine archive instructions at that page, find the Setup version you require at ftp://www.fruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/setup/setup.html then use that to download the old Setup, find a "circa" mirror near the date you downloaded, run the downloaded Setup and add that "circa" mirror, then use it to install only the packages you require, as that link is slow, and your connection may be dropped if you abuse it.

You don't want to install into %PROGRAM_FILES% or WIndows' folder virtualization will play bad tricks on you if you ever try to write to anywhere inside that installation directory.

Well, at the moment you can still select the previous version from setup and have a reasonable chance of everything working correctly. But Cygwin really is a rolling distribution, so your security process is fundamentally at odds with how it is updated.
