There's some kind of characteristic of Windows architecture which means
that if you are trying to install Cygwin from a release stored on a
local drive (or CD or as in your case a USB device) then the attempt
will fail if setup.exe and setup.ini are located at H:/ and release/ is
located at H:/release/. For reasons that I do not understand you have to
bury the Cygwin release at least one directory deep on the device, such as
H:/Cyg0/setup.exe
H:/Cyg0/setup.ini
H:/Cyg0/release/
Any name for the burial site will do.
Any help?
