3.3.5, rsync+ssh hangs on Windows 11
This worked on Windows 10 but hangs on Windows 11: rsync -a : After I terminated the background "ssh" process in Task Manager, this is the output: rsync: [sender] safe_read failed to read 4 bytes: No child processes (10) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(276) [sender=3.2.4dev] The Windows OS build is 22000.918.

This will happen automatically if you use Cygwin's python.
If you don't, then you have to run a program (for example, ls)
by giving the path to the executable - on my system that is:
C:\cygwin64\bin\ls.exe

I think he meant something like this:
$ python
Python 3.9.10 (main, Jan 20 2022, 21:37:52)
[GCC 11.2.0] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.system("ls")
... output is a list of strings with the contents of current directory
^D
Which is not a question for the Cygwin list, its elementary python.
... except if the OP is talking ab *Windows* python, in which case the
os package will run Windows things, not cygwin ones ...

Unexpected permissions for home dir install
I did read that upon installation. But I read it more as: "Cygwin is still available to multiple users, depending on where you install it". I did not expect it to apply when installing Cygwin into a private home directory. And maybe other people read it similar to how I read it. But its also entirely possible that its just me, and that I should be more careful about my assumptions the next time I install something. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

The above applies both to the newest cygwin setup from the cygwin website as of this writing, and also to the 2.921 setup.

So I am just writing this to inform you that I found the behavior unexpected, and then you can determine if you consider it a bug or not. Setup displays the following text below the "Just Me" button: Cygwin will still be available to all users, but Desktop Icons, Cygwin Menu Entries, and important Installer information are only available to the current user. Only select this if you lack Administrator privileges or if you have specific needs. This is consistent with what you observed.

RE: Does the Cygwin setup program do internal sanity checks on startup?
Well, is it possible to use 7zip? It seems like you can do something like it in: https://superuser.com/questions/42788/is-it-possible-to-execute-a-file-after-extraction-from-a-7-zip-self-extracting-a Not that I think this would help with heuristics, and some AV tools REALLY don't like executing things from users' temp directories. (Which .Net applications seem to like to do sometimes.) Maybe have compressed and uncompressed installers?

Not only does it (occasionally) generate problems like this, but also with malware detection heuristics.
