I take by that that you have choosen to download all the files to you
local machine using the setup.exe?

In htat case just run the setup.exe again and choose to install from local
directory.
choose the directory where the files and the setup.ini is and follow the
prompts..easy :-)

One done that will then (providing you enabled the option at the end of
the setup) to create a desktop/start menu entry for cygwin, just click it
and then you will enter a real operating sytem ;-)

Hope that helps
