It should regard the installation process by setup.exe. At the end of the installation, when one chooses to add links in Start menu, many of those links do not seem to work. Cheers, angelo.

FYI, the only link setup adds to the Start Menu is Cygwin/Cygwin Bash Shell. All others are added explicitly by the package postinstall scripts, and have nothing to do with the installer.
