To be honest, RCS has always been enough for me, and for that reason I've
been delaying getting into CVS. I guess the time has come to evolve.
However, for this particular problem, I might take a snapshot, hoping that I
will get to some results earlier.

You mean the "select install root directory" prompt? It points to c:\cygwin,
and Windows' "find" command reports there are no .ini files under this tree.

I checked, it's not there either. Where is this little devil hiding? =T

S*t! Sorry for this stupid overlook. It only took me a find for *.tar.gz to
see where the latest tarballs were copied to. Running setup.exe from this
directory and choosing "Install from current dir" bombs *exactly* the same
way -- including the hex numbers reported.

Ok. Guess I will have to keep troubling you, then...
Best,
