Thank you for the advice.  I moved the installed directory (29 GB) aside and
restarted the 
install, carefully avoiding changing any of the default settings, and this
time it finished in
a couple of minutes and the install directory is only 158 MB and I find a
cygwin terminal 
and am able to do routine bash commands, so I presume that all is working. 
So, why the
postinst scripts failed to run before, now becomes an academic matter for
me.

Thanks again for the help.
