OK, guys, it's fixed, if not quite the way I might like.
I deleted the whole registry key containing existing cygwin mounts,
and went back to zero. Then, in SETUP.EXE, I did _NOT_ use my C:\
as root, I used a directory name "C:\@" (mostly because is sorts
low).
Everything downloaded and installed correctly, I can get into bash
and launch a few things that I know how to use.
OK, DJ, I know I was warned.
Obviously, the "C://bin" display in the previous case was the key.
The "//" must be a black hole.
I'll take a look myself, come Monday.
Good weekend again!
