There is a command line switch to disable replace-on-reboot. Feel free to submit a patch to convert the error that occurs when it is disabled with a dialog and a retry. The default behaviour is replace on reboot, and will remain the default. But the command line option will do 90% of what you want today, and with a few lines of code can do the remaining 10%. Look in install.cc if you are interested. Cheers, Rob (Cygwin setup maintainer) -- GPG key available at: <http://users.bigpond.net.au/robertc/keys.txt>.
