Fixing Insight: Can setup.exe pick and choose latest binaries for me?


Thanks,

ok, so I should get:
    *new cygwin.dll
    *new tcl .dll's
    *new gdb

I think I've seen gdb as a complete downloadable package and cygwin.dll as
a separate download but what about the tcl stuff.  Does it come with the gdb
package? or do I have to get that separately?  Can setup.exe pick and choose
for me? so I don't have to do alot of browsing?

It's still a bit confusing to me to determine what versions of what to
download.
I'm afraid of mixing things up and causing more problems.  How do I find out
what versions of what will mix with what I currently have, so I don't have
to download
everything all over again?

I'm surprised that I dont have the fixed dll's because I downloaded
everything
using setup.exe about 2 weeks ago, oh well.
