1. The installation process begins by running setup.exe.
2. Choose "Install from Local Directory".
3. Then, choose the directory to install Cygwin. It is the best to leave cygwin default directory C:\cygwin. Though you may change to the one you prefer, it should not include space like this C:\cygwin for ns2. And it must be noted that the username that used to login that Windows systems should not include a space. If the username has a space, refer to this page.
3. The directory that downloaded files are placed. By default, cygwin remembers where they are downloaded.
4. Finally, choose the packages by clicking the View button and changing it to Full. Then click on every item that has been marked Skip. Though some of the packages are downloaded, they are still marked as Skip unless there is a version of the package displayed.
5. Click on Next and the copying of files starts. When it ends, there will be 2 groups of new menu in the start menu with a couple of links.
