"setup-x86 --quiet-mode" problems

- Subject: "setup-x86 --quiet-mode" problems
I have an update script which calls "setup-x86 --quiet-mode".
So far, this works great, but now it tries to install a new mintty.exe,
but one mintty still running (where I started setup-x86), so setup-x86
kills this process... and setup-x86.exe is killed, too, which resulted in
a damaged cygwin installation :-(
I was able to fix it by running setup-x86.exe via Windows Explorer (puhhhh!).
How can I avoid this kind of problem in the future?
I tried it with:
setup-x86 --quiet-mode &
sleep 1
kill -9 $PPID
But setup-x86 was killed again, too.
