Note that there are cygwin programs that come with an all-in-one installer just as what you did for sagemath in VM, installing the bits of cygwin they need -- the user just has to click on OK once or twice, and then everything is working in a completely transparent way. Check out for instance Isabelle/HOL at https://isabelle.in.tum.de/ Of course, a native windows build would be even better, but that seems to be an order of magnitude more difficult since many programs in sage-the-distribution use the posix layer (PARI, for instance) > For an "average" user I think this installer is much friendlier than > any other currently working approach. > I agree completely.
