Merci!

For your next update:

Trying to compress it with upx failed with an error message:
upx: setup-x86-64.exe: CantPackException: can't pack new-exe

The next time you update it, and if it is not too much bother,
you might compile so upx works.  Or not.  I'm not complaining.

Thanks again,

- Barry

UPX can't compress PE+ (64bit) executables.

I have built a version of setup-x86-64.exe for people that do not have
administrator privileges.
It can be downloaded here: http://www.casalibus.fr/cygwin/
