Thanks for your answers. It helps a lot! Sorry for the missing context,
here you go...
I downloaded the cygwin-rsyncd-3.1.2.1 package from Sourceforge at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/cygwin-rsyncd/3.1.2.1/cygwin-rsyncd-3.1.2.1_installer.exe/download.
On the Windows XP machine, I ran the installer with double-click on the
cygwin-rsyncd-3.1.2.1_installer.exe (I have admin privileges). The
upgrade process replaces the binaries but the cygrunsrv service is not
there. If I run maually from a command promt either cygrun or rsync from
the command line, I get the popup message “Not a valid Win32 application”.
Should I report that issue the devel mailing list instead?

Very good point! I'll install Rsyncd from the Cygwin environment
(eventhough it is a much more lenghty process than running
cygwin-rsyncd-3.1.2.1_installer.exe).

I'll give it a try with the new client and let you know!
Thanks again.
