    • Set unnecessary package categories to 'Uninstall', e.g. KDE and Games.
  • Once installed, do the following.  This will make sure the maven build can access the two utilities
    • Open a CommandPrompt with admin privileges.
    • cd to the directory where you installed cygwin, i.e. c:\cygwin\bin
    • mklink mkisofs.exe genisoimage.exe
    • mklink python.exe python2.7.exe
    • Run Cygwin
    • Add the following to your /etc/fstab: "none /cyg cygdrive binary,noacl,posix=0,user 0 0".  This line does two things.  Instead of /cygdrive/c to change to a different drive, you type /cyg/c which is much shorter.  It also removes the posix acl semantics which causes problems with the build because the build tries to manipulate file permissions and causes big problems with the Windows file system.
  • After completing the install, you can run cygwin setup again to update the packages.  In that case, it will use the packages you last selected as the defaults.
