I download Cygwin Setup to C:\cygwin\setup\setup.exe and packages under
C:\cygwin\setup.  It probably doesn't matter, but I recall that when I
tried to share a single Cygwin setup/ download directory across multiple
machines via the network, things broke.  Are you trying that?  If so,
don't -- you want a dedicated Cygwin setup/ download directory for each
machine.  I think Cygwin Setup stores machine-/ installation-specific
metadata in there.

I have found that if I select anything in addition to the base/ default
packages on the very first run of Cygwin Setup, things break.  So, now I
do two (or more) runs of Setup -- the first for base/ defaults *only*,
and subsequent runs for additional goodies.  Please try again with two
passes.

Thank you.  Perhaps other people will spot a clue in there.


HTH,
