That's a very fair assumption. 'setup.exe' knows when you need to reboot in order to complete the latest installation process. If you ignore the directive to reboot, you may find some or all of Cygwin no longer works.
Agreed.
Rebooting will fix the problem.
Not necessarily. These files were all missed during a reboot. I usually reboot my PC once per week. I tend to Hibernate or leave it running at the end of the day. I also run setup.exe multiple times per week to check for updates. There may be some cases where the files that need updating are missed. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
