@All,

I found the problem. I needed to add the application to my firewall. Also, =
I needed to install the exe as Administrator (right click the exe and selec=
t run as administrator). It all works so beautifully know. I apologize to e=
veryone for my stupidity... lol.

Chris

n copy from the address bar and past it into the setup.exe and click add. I=
 am not typing it. I then click next. I get an error that says "Unable to g=
et setup.ini from <http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/cygwin/cygwin/>. I can acces=
s the mirror myself from my web browser. Why can't I get the full download =
and download it myself, then install it? This is probably a firewall issue =
or a setup glitch. Normally when a program wants access to the internet, my=
 firewall triggers and asks me if I want to let the program through. This s=
etup program seems to not even try to get to the internet. Does anyone have=
 a resolution to this problem. For example, what needs to change on the fir=
ewall to let setup through?
