Ken,

It's a bug. I'm unclear how to report it to the cygwin maintainer, but I found 
a workaround over on an ubuntu bug tracker: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/a2ps/+bug/149551 It's a very simple 
fix:

echo "letter" > /etc/papersize

in your cygwin terminal. I reran setup.exe without error afterwards.

Kyle
