I've done some experimentation with setup with similar results, and can
confirm that the hang depends on the environment from which setup is
started.
I see the cygpath hang (when reinstalling XFree86-bin-icons) in these cases:
1. Clicking on the setup.exe icon in Explorer
2. Clicking on a setup.exe shortcut icon in the desktop
I don't see the hang if I start setup from any kind of command window.
This includes:
1. A standard Microsoft command window.
2. A command window running bash.
3. An xterm window running bash.
I don't see the hang if I start setup from a Cygwin session, or from
a standard command window.
4. A .bat file, e.g.
@echo off
C:
chdir C:\cygwin
setup
