The setup hangs forever (more than 12 hours), I click on Cancel and nothing happens but after a while I get the following error: Cannot open log file C:\cygwin/var/log/setup.log yes, the first one is a backslack (\) and the others are forward slashes (/). This problem happens on brand new XP installations with nothing else but XP2 and all the Windows Update patches, absolutely nothing else. I'm wondering if any of you have had any similar problems?
