Steven,

A new Vim came along at my preferred mirror today, so I used that as the 
opportunity to try your solution. I downloaded the Vim package (I always 
download and then install and keep all the packages mirrored locally), 
re-ran the installer in "Install from Local Directory" mode and set all the 
packages listed as requiring installation to "Skip" except the new Vim 
package. After installing just the new Vim and re-running the installer in 
"Install from Local Directory" mode again, it still lists every package 
(except Vim, of course) as requiring installation.

By the way, my setup.ini, setup.log and setup.log.full files were not 
missing. In fact, I looked at them and they're not obviously malformed or 
truncated.

Any other ideas?

I suppose I'll just have to go ahead re-install everything and hope nothing 
is perturbed.
