'hicolor-icon-theme' reports itself as incomplete but otherwise the
packages themselves are there. Postinstall scripts have a purpose
so to the extent that you haven't run them, you may see some issues
with your environment. I'd recommend trying two things that might
help:
1. Remove '/', '/usr/lib', and '/usr/bin' as binary and rerun
'setup.exe'. See 'man mount' and the '-f' and '-b' flags
for more details.
2. With or without the above, go to the '/etc/postinstall' directory
and run any scripts there that don't have the 'done' suffix.
Once they have all run successfully, move them to the script
name plus the 'done' suffix.
Hopefully one of these two procedures will get all your postinstall
scripts to run. If that's true, you're good to go.
