According to Kenneth Evans, Jr. on 12/10/2006 1:27 PM:

What do the following say?

$ ls -l /bin/sh.exe /bin/bash.exe
$ bash --version
$ sh --version

Should not make a difference.  setup.exe is not a cygwin executable, so it
 does not depend on cygwin/bin being in or out of the PATH.

That's exactly what setup.exe does.

Other things to check - are you running a buggy driver?  (Known culprits
include Agnitum outpost, Logitech webcam, McAfee virus products, but this
list is not comprehensive).

You have quite a few things in your path.  Could any of them be providing
an alternate /bin/sh, even though this cygcheck output didn't detect one?
 Also, when you ran setup.exe, did you have an instance of bash or sh
already running?

Other than that, all I can suggest is manually doing what 01bash.sh would
have done, which is roughly 'cp /bin/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe'.
