Hi Corinna, Achim, Yaakov ... (did I miss anyone? :-)

Did some more experimenting ...

All the time using "Install from Local Directory" ...

 - copied vim-minimal-7.4.1558-1.tar.xz to vim-minimal-7.4.1600-1.tar.xz
 - copied cygwin-2.5.0-0.8.tar.xz to cygwin-2.5.0-0.9.tar.xz
 - modified setup.ini
vim-minimal: substituted 1600 for current
cygwin: substituted 0.9 for TEST <====

Invoked setup:
 - vim-minimal is offered for install
 - cygwin is NOT (0.8 is shown with a interrogation sign (?) for size 
...

==> Again:
 - modified setup.ini
cygwin: substituted 0.9 for CURRENT <====

Invoked setup:
 - vim-minimal is offered for install
 - cygwin is ** NOW ** offered for install ...

==> Again:
 - modified setup.ini
cygwin: substituted 0.9 for TEST <==== (as in the 1st test)

Invoked setup: BUT THIS TIME SPECIFYING the -m option
 - vim-minimal is offered for install
 - cygwin is ** NOW ** offered for install ...

Apparently specifying the -m option makes a difference ...

Regards,

Henri
