When Setup is silent the wizar= d and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress= window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window i= s not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error messages du= ring installation are displayed and the startup prompt is (if you haven't d= isabled it with DisableStartupPrompt or the '/SP-' command line option expl= ained above). ----------- =20 Cygwin setup supports does not support very silent installation. That is ou= r major issue describing in this thread.
