Cygwin installer does not select the packages specified by the -P option

Hmm.  I tried that again today and it worked correctly regardless of the
order of options.  Funky… :-(

You might want to go down one directory level and try again, even though
I don't see at the moment how that would be involved.  Also, maybe check
the permissions / ACL on the files in the repo, which may be too
restrictive depending on how you downloaded them.  You might also try to
run the install as a user (not admin) to see if that difference is
changing behaviour.  Last but not least, try excepting the local repo
from at least heuristic antimalware protection and explicitly scan all
files the installer is using (some endpoint protections block certain
actions until the involved executables have been scanned and / or
whitelisted).

Again, it should just work the way you were trying, but something's
interfering.  Anyway, here's what the start of the invocation _should_
look like if things are working correctly:
