Because I install Cygwin on multiple systems, I initially run setup.exe
under wine (fedora 11) to download the files into a Samba-accessible
directory (Distribution/Cygwin/ on Cambridge), into which I also place
setup.exe.
On a Vista system (I haven't tried to reproduce on XP), I then run the
Samba-accessible setup.exe image to install from local directory. This
worked flawlessly under Cygwin 1.5. For 1.7, I get repeated "Cygwin
Setup" popup windows stating: "Can't open file
//\\CAMBRIDGE\Distribution\Cygwin/ for reading: Unrecogisable file
format" (spelling reproduced as displayed). Clicking OK button allows
setup to continue.
Apart from this, setup.exe appeared to function correctly except for not
generating a desktop icon.
