It's unclear whether you're doing it the wrong way or not.  When you say
"copied setup.exe and setup.ini", do you mean that you copied them to the
same directory?  That would make setup crash in the way you described (see
the above Google link).

-- I copy setup.exe from www.cygwin.com and execute setup.exe on
-- the host computer.
-- I copy setup.exe and the directory containing the downloaded
-- installation files and setup.ini that setup creates.
--
-- But you raise a good question. When I want to migrate files from
-- computer to computer (for an install using setup), what files
-- are required? Is it only setup.exe and the directory containing
-- the downloaded installation files, or are there other files needed?
-- In particular, since I am not downloading additional files I
-- specify a 'local installation' in the setup pop-up. Is this correct?
