I've installed both in parallel, in 2012, following these instructions: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-05/msg00166.html | | To install a 1.7 release in parallel to a 1.5 release, all you have | to do is to choose another root directory (for instance: C:\cygwin-1.7) | in setup-1.7's "Choose Installation Directory" dialog. | | * NOTE: Due to the way setup-1.7 works, you have to change the directory | * right the first time you visit this dialog!
