Data stored in the registry (Cygwin_root, local_repo): For a 32-bits instance of Cygwin, see HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygwin For a 64-bits instance of Cygwin, see HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cygwin .. but if you are using a fixed location for your Cygwin_root and for your local_repo (distribution directory), why not: - create a shortcut to the setup executable ... - and add -n -R x:/your_root -l x:/_your_local_repo as arguments to the invocation of the executable ( x = your drive letter) and force yourself to use that shortcut? That would override any default (either by the setup executable or by you in the past). .. and save you the trouble of posting to this list.
