No, you misunderstood the FAQ. With setup.exe you can uninstall individual packages but not Cygwin. To uninstall Cygwin you have to: rmdir /s /q C:\cygwin regdit -s rmcygwin.reg [rmcygwin.reg] REGEDIT4 [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions] [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions] -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
