Subject: Unattended install "remembers" the download option
Date: Sat, 05 Nov 2016 14:02:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <D4434266.D3A9%rrdrake@sandia.gov> (raw)

Hello,

Does anyone know how the cygwin setup "remembers" install settings?  Such
as --download.

I ran the setup once using --download, and now every time I use it, it
runs with that option by default.  The problem is that I want to use
unattended mode to install additional products but they don't get
installed because it assumes the download only option.

Is there a "download and install" option that can be used?  In order to
override the "download only" option.  I didn't see one.

What is really curious is where this option is being stored.  If I knew
that, then maybe I could remove that setting so it would revert to the
default setting.

Thanks,

-rich
