hi,
the simple add of -B (--no-admin) work, also keeping the installation to
the previous path.
Update work, and shell start as always.
Even the update from 3.2.0 to 3.3.3 work, for both 64 and 32 installations.
Thank you,
Valerio

You need --no-admin option to setup if you don't have administrative
privileges, if that's all you're after.
If you are asking how to modify/update your existing installation that was
installed as administrator, that might be impossible, if you no longer have
privileges there.
Regards,
David

Hi Valerio,
Have you tried using the "-B" command line option when running
setup-x86_64.exe ?
Thank you.

hi,
I have a company PC where I was admin and installed Cygwin in a non
supported path:
D:\Program Files (x86)\cygwin64
/cygdrive/d/Program Files (x86)/cygwin64 and worked like a sharm for
years, with a quite complex env.
Now admin right was revoked to me, and the update via setup.exe cannot
proceed.
I can ask to the company admin to update the distribution every time,
but this is impractical.
1) Do you know if re-installing to supported path something like:
D:\ProgramFiles\cygwin64
/cygdrive/d/ProgramFiles/cygwin64
let me update the distro without admin right?
I made a backup of the about 800 installed packages with:
$ cygcheck -c -d | cut -d' ' -f1 | tail -n+3 >
installedPackages2021-12.txt I never tryed to restore the backup with:
$ setup -M -P package1,package2, ...
2) Someone know if that work well ?
thank you,
