[Unattended] "Prepare" script in Cygwin environment

[James Barlow]

Title: Message

I'm having a go with the new u-3.4 prepare script on an XP box running cygwin.

 

The download bit works really well, but rather than writing to the named sub-directories, the scripts puts all the files in the root of the install directory.

 

For example:

bpool/msjavwu_8073687b82d41db93f4c2a04af2b34d.exe

It seems to be processing the "wget source -o destination" as three download requests. Do I need to modify something in Cygwin to sort this out?
