Re: Quick question on setup.exe

Hey, Vincent! :)

First of all - this is _NOT_ a download application. This
is an installer.

Now to answer you question - No! The package selection is not
based on the OS, on which setup.exe is currently running.

 Hello,
 Does this download application for cygwin takes in account the OS on
 which it is running (i.e. are there different packages to download
 whether you are running it on Windows 95 or Windows NT) ?

Well, it's really both a floor wax AND a dessert topping*, but I digress.

*For those outside the US, or with more years ahead than behind, that's from a
Saturday Night Live skit.  I suppose knowing that doesn't make it any funnier
though.

True, and the reason that is is because the same exes get installed regardless
of OS.  Any differences are taken into account (primarily by the cygwin1 and
other DLLs) at runtime.
