Actually you are if you look at your command line again.
Try this version of it.


/cygdrive/d/Temp/setup-1.7 -L /cygdrive/c/cygwin-1.7 -l
/cygdrive/d/cygwin-1.7-downloads -P rsync -q

Note the lacking -r in this version.
Ouch. How very embarrassing. That's what happens when you CTRL-r to a command-line and assume things about it (I normally build the command-line from the ground up, with no superfluous options).

Thanks Robert. Sorry for the carelessness, list.
