The problem is that cygpath hangs when called from a shell launched by setup.exe. This problem has been reported many times before. It started happening about a month or two ago. For a more detailed description, see my post below: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-10/msg00049.html Nobody seems interested in fixing this, myself included, so it will most likely remain broken.
