Ok. Problems with setup.exe are usually discussed on the cygwin-apps
list, so I'm Cc'ing there. If you don't feel like subscribing, you can
continue to reply on the main cygwin list.

Thanks for the effort to debug this, but the above output was pretty
useless. What would be more useful is a stack trace. We really need to
build a version of the snapshot with debugging symbols (Brian?). When
that version is up, please run it and give us the stack trace of the
failure.
If you have another machine with Cygwin and feel up to it, you can try
building a debugging version of setup yourself. Otherwise, please monitor
the cygwin-apps list (<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/>) for the
announcement of a debug snapshot.
