On the source system, within cygwin, zip up everything you want, with option -y: cd /; zip -ry cygwin . -x home or cd /cygdrive/c; zip -ry cygwin cygwin64 -x ... On the target system, install a minimal cygwin unzipping environment: copy files unzip.exe, cygwin1.dll, cygbz2-1.dll into a subdirectory called bin Use that unzip to unpack your zip file.
