Splendid! However when I restarted setup and selected "Install from Local Directory", it did NOT offer me to install version 2.5.0-0.8 ... (Meaning, I had to restart setup AGAIN, and force it to install the last version of cygwin - a bit annoying, as you wrote in [1]) Did your modification only apply to the "Download without Installing" part of setup? (i.e. downloading from internet) (honestly, I do not remember whether or not setup acted consistently in both modes after your modification) Did I miss something?
