Hi everyone, well I have been looking into Cygwin, and I want to know if there is a command line tool to install some of this packages.

setup.exe has some command-line switches you can use to sort of automate things.

-r --no-replaceonreboot                Disable replacing in-use files on next
                                       reboot.
