Well, what precisely IS my Cygwin  installation?  Only the stuff in "C:\
cygwin\"?  And how does Cygwin's "setup.exe"  know which version of what
is already installed?   Does it only look  in "C:\cygwin\"  to determine
that?  What are the "setup.ini"  files under  "C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\
cygwin\" used for?

Sincerely
 Rainer
