For some reason, when the test version is selected in setup.exe, the checkbox in the 'Bin?' (as in "Binary", rather than a British waste container) column gets cleared, which indeed means you get nuffing. So make sure to tick that checkbox.


Yup, that was the problem.
(Is this a setup.exe bug? Something wrong about the packaging?)


Now "my" (mirrors.kernel.org) server fails to list it, so I can't load a
prior version.

Even in the Full view?

Yup, was the full view three times. Just now the server showed it and I installed with the additional trick above, and I am back online. To recap, (all with the same server).

Install Try 1: Full View: mintty was there but uninstalled w/o
               install
Install Try 2: Full View: mintty was not there
Install Try 3: Full View: Followed Andy's trick and all seems AOK
