The list is open to posts from non-subscribers for a reason.

What version of bash are you trying to upgrade to? I assume you canceled
the setup.exe; if so, what does 'grep -C5 00bash /var/log/setup.log.full'
say? What does 'ls -l /bin/{ba,}sh.exe' say? What does 'cygcheck
/bin/sh.exe' say?

I'm starting to wonder if cygcheck chokes on the fact that
cygreadline6.dll exists, but is missing the hook that /bin/sh version
3.0.x depended on. Hmm, based on digging up an older build of bash from
my archives, it looks like cygcheck is just fine with it, but trying to
execute it from bash just silently exits with status 57 (ie. missing dll
dependency). But so far, I can't reproduce a hang.
