I thought so because I was familar to the old Setup in which I chose the directory containing the "setup.ini".It's not clear why you would think that you'd have to change your answer the second time around either. If you specified z:\cygwin the first time then it should be fairly obvious that you should specific z:\cygwin the second time.
You are right. I just had to wait. Still I would prefer Setup showing some signs of life, or at least pre-warn the user it would act like freezing now. Since if Task Manager says Setup is "Not responding", most user would believe Setup is dead.In any event, I suspect that in this case "freezes" probably means "didn't wait long enough". It can take setup a little while to digest the information in the local directory if you've downloaded a number of packages. So, you should wait a few minutes (depending on the speed of your computer) before concluding that setup is hung.
Sometimes for some reason I renamed the lengthy "http%3a%2f%2f..." directory to something shorter. Is that allowed? Would Setup still find the subdirectory or does it only look for "http...", "ftp..." etc.? Is is even allowed to move "setup.ini" and "release" to the same directory with "setup.exe" and delete the "http%3a%2f%2f..."?You don't have to worry about what kind of directories setup creates, actually. Just use the same directory for each invocation.
