A new version of Setup (2.923) has been uploaded to:

  https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe  (64 bit version)
  https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe     (32 bit version)

Changes compared to 2.919:

- Add perpetual support for preremove scripts (thanks to Christian Franke)

- Major update to libsolv (from 0.6.29 to 0.7.22).  Fix a crash this causes.

- Allow packages to be marked as 'self-destruct'.  (This is intended for 
use in the rare cases where a package is obsolete, but has no direct 
replacement.)

- Add new option '--no-write-registry', which inhibits recording the 
installation root directory in the registry, which may be useful for 
portable or temporary installs (thanks to Christian Franke)

- Add view modes "Removable" and "Unneeded" (thanks to Christian Franke)

-- "Removable" shows installed packages that were selected, but can now
be safely removed, as no installed package depends on them
-- "Unneeded" shows packages which were automatically installed, but can 
now be safely removed, as no installed depends on them

- Add Ctrl-I/R/U as keyboard accelerators for 
install/reinstall/uninstall in the package chooser (thanks to Christian 
Franke)

- Restore the ability to run on Windows 5.1 (XP/Server 2003), in 
conjunction with '--allow-unsupported-windows'
