I have followed the posts and FAQ's I have found to troubleshoot. I have cleaned cygwin off the system, including the packages folder, shortcuts, etc, but each try at installing yields much the same. Attached it the setup.log.full file. When I run setup.exe, the GUI displays a number of 254 errors. After the install, clicking on the cygwin shortcut opens a command window, with a cygwin prompt, but no commands work. Further examination shows that no user folder was created under \cygwin\home. I have tried installing using local administrator account as well as domain admin account. All of this started when I tried to upgrade cygwin. Any leads much appreciated.
