Re: Strange behavior of cygwin setup preferences

When I have a fresh new installed OS, say XP, and the first time to install cygwin using cygwin setup utility, I can see a lot of components. After the first installation, however it's completed installed or be canceled, Then I launch the setup again, most components are gone.

It looks like this, the setup remembered which components I've selected, and saved my selection to the win32 registry or somewhere, whatever, I don't know where it saved and I can't find it.

Is there any command line option to force the setup.exe consider it's the first to install?

Click the "View" button in "setup.exe" until the "Up-to-date" page is shown. Click "Keep" for any package you need to reinstall until it shows "Reinstall".
