Yes I always do that.
0) open a bash shell window
1) bunzip2 the dll
2) net stop openssh; net stop agent0; ps -ef
3) exit (after looking at the screen)
4) run setup if needed
5) copy the cygwin1.dll to C:\Cygwin\bin
6) open a bash shell window
7) cygwin-host-config; openssh-service-install; net start agent0; ps -ef
this last line fixes up the mounts and perms,
uninstalls and reinstalls the sshd service (so the path is updated),
restarts my ssh-agent, and
lets me see that it went ok. I do this as administrator (I'm normally 
restricted user), so these things stay in my history and so I actually type
cd /c/.../Desktop/
!bun
!net
exit

and
!cygwin-hos

Thanks,

...Karl
