Turns out cygwin will use the Windows Registry to store previous install locations, and in that previous location I had the "download only" option set. The setup program used the Registry to find a previous install location (/etc/setup/setup.rc file) and used that to populate some options. -rich --------------------------------------------------------- From: Wayne Davison Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2016 09:14:40 -0700 Subject: Re: Unattended install "remembers" the download option On Sat, Nov 5, 2016 at 7:01 AM, Drake, Richard R wrote: > What is really curious is where this option is being stored.

I bet the line following "last-action" is just "Download" in your file. Mine is "Download,Install" (after a tab). ..wayne.. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
