I can confirm that Cygwin (at least the version I installed sometime in the last 2 years) can be installed to and run from a non-system, user-owned directory without needing write access to the Windows registry. I never tried running an ssh daemon in that configuration, though. -Rob -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why?

If you google portable cygwin you'll find a very confusing mishmash of only occasionally accurate information, but I've spent a fair bit of time testing and configuring things without anything special and it just works. My X:\Cygwin tree contains setup.exe, a download.bat to do a download only update to a local 0-setup-pkgs folder, and an install.bat to update/add to the local apps from that setup folder if needed. The sshd setup, cygrunsrv and all that still needs to be run on each client of course, and this part is what is then non-portable, but all the regular tools work without anything special needed in the registry, given you set up any path modifications, environment variables with (again centrally managed) batch files. Let me know if you want any further specific details, directly off-list would be fine.
