Yes I'm responding to my own question. Thank you to everyone who sent me
answers.  Here's what I was doing wrong. 

1) Do not move each *.tar.gz files.  Leave them in there individual
directories.
2) Make certain that the setup.exe and setup.ini are one level above
your downloaded directories. That is to say, the directory structure
should look the same as on the ftp site.

	<latest>, setup.exe, setup.ini
		|
		|-><ash>
		|-><autoconf>
		|->etc...

Run the setup.exe from here.  Et voila...it works.

Subject: Q: nothing to install/update when using setup from local
directory


I've tried to search the archive but I can't find anything about my
problem.  My apologies if this has been answered before.

Tale: 
I've downloaded all the packages that are available in the 'latest'
directory to my computer. I've moved each *.tar.gz file to a
"tempInstall" directory on my local hardrive. I've copied the setup.exe
file to this "tempInstall" directory. When I run the setup application
choose the following options.
1) install from local directory
2) local package directory =G:\download\latest\tempInstall\
3) Select install root directory= F:/cygwin
4) Default text format= DOS
5) Install for =All
6) Select Packages to Install "Nothing to Install/Update"

Question:
Why are there no packages to install in this final list?  How can I fix
this?
