I personally don't like stealth modifications to my system either. We are d= escribing a different scenario and different needs. The users don't have ad= min rights in their machines and they have asked Cygwin to be included in t= he list of their development software. All the provided developer software = so far includes silent installation apart from Cygwin, which you cannot cal= l it 100% silent. We could also use a zip distribution for Cygwin, in fact = that was our old deployment method, but half of the programs were able to r= un due to broken links. I know that there is a script to fix the links, but= I would trust the setup itself better to avoid any possible issues on the = users' machines. This is the way that we are pushing the packages currently to end users is = through software managers with silent installation. Of course, it would be = far better to set up something like Windows Store, where the user can selec= t Cygwin, launch its installation and have full control over it.
