Yes, you are right. In my head had no sense downloading only + install
on a "fake directory".

I see that is by design, the installer is not only downloading
programs, it is also installing something, even an "empty
installation" -> c:\cygwin-test\etc ...  with setup.rc file ...

IMHO,  the setup.rc should be in the same folder as setup-x86.exe,
where you can find the other logs: setup.log , setup.log.full. It has
more sense , at least for me.


Thanks a lot for all your time.
