Sorry - I obviously misunderstood what cygstart is for - my bad. However, is do you really need cygstart to run setup.exe? My shortcuts for setup (both the original and the one modified with the -K for cygports) do not use cygstart and seem to have been running fine - is there any reason I should change that?
