If I was doing this, I would just use shell scripts or bat files to install things and skip setup.exe. IMO, setup.exe isn't the appropriate tool for this job. A shell script or .bat job is. setup.exe is designed to be a tool for installing from the internet. Isn't intended to be used as a mass-deployment tool. There's too much potential for user error if you tell people to use setup.exe. However, I guess you could probably do what you need by creating your own setup.ini file: http://cygwin.com/setup.html . cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
