Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: setup.exe (Release 2.876)
Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 15:11:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BLU436-SMTP115540F937D0CAAAB4B659CB6FF0@phx.gbl> (raw)

I made a batch script that, when needed, downloads the new setup.exe
with wget, changes the permissions and then executes it.
This is my bat script.
----------------------------------------------
cd C:\cygwin64Install
move setup-x86_64.exe setup-x86_64.exe.old
c:\cygwin64\bin\wget.exe http://www.cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe
icacls setup-x86_64.exe /t /grant my-pc\\\\my-name:F
icacls setup-x86_64.exe /remove "NULL SID"
icacls setup-x86_64.exe /remove "Everyone"
setup-x86_64.exe
----------------------------------
It works, I suggest you to do the same.
replace my-pc and my-name with yours
Have fun
Massimo
