When run from setup then rm should not prompt (and it doesn't for my installations), at least not if the permissions on the directory are correct and you always run it under the same UID. I could add a "-f", but... You seem to have some borked ACL on your Cygwin installation (i.e. a fresh installation shouldn't have these) or something's wrong with the UID settings (maybe mopve /etc/passwd and /etc/group files). Do you run setup.exe as administrator? Is this a system-wide or user installation? Also the latest snapshot changes the handling of the Administrator and SYSTEM accounts to resolve some issues with intended vs. effective group rights and ACL mask computation.
