Well, for starters, you could use gdb on a debug snapshot of setup.exe, and set a breakpoint in download.cc:do_download_reflector(), and see if it ever gets to the PostMessage line (still giving the -5 command line option). If it doesn't, try to figure out why. Unfortunately, there isn't a debug snapshot of the latest setup. So, you could instead build setup from CVS (by following the instructions at ) and try the debug sequence above. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but as Max mentioned, this isn't a common problem.
