As for Corinna, the problem does *not* exist for me either, and cygwin
installs fine for the WS2008 x64 RTM.  However since Vista I *do*
always do fresh cygwin installs by downloading setup.exe and running
them as Administrator (which in the default WS2008 case could be moot
since you are logged in as Administrator anyway).
