Re: Batch installation, possibly without setup.exe?

Hi,

if I want to install a version of Cygwin without user interaction
(optimally just dropping a bunch of files via unzip), is that
feasible?

In particular: does setup.exe fiddle with the registry or other files
that can't be just overwritten as a whole?

Obviously, one might want to have PATH adjusted, but apart from that?


Your only supported approach is to use 'setup.exe'.  See

for more.
