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. You also don't want to package up an installation to install on further machines, instead you'll need to do an installation on each machine. > all is done. but when it goes to version-confirming process. i am crazy!!! > i use "cygcheck -c cygwin" to check version, but it shows "2.6.1-1"!!!! > > then i went back to your website main page. it shows 2.6.1-1 as the > latest version. i really really want to cry!!!! 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.
