You don't need to hit Enter, you DO have prompt in cmd BEFORE setup start to
print it all into window. (Therefore, the prompt is licated atop of that pile
of text, but that's a problem with Windows native console handling, bash don't
have this issue, not with setup.exe at least)

My question was, considering it's location on a network share
\\DAEMON1\arc\cygwin\install , what it looking for in the quoted places, and
is it normal to have these failed attempts, or do I gain any advantage having
the files it's looking for?
