Ok, well this is 'not good' :}.

At what point does it crash?

Assuming it crashes straight after download screen - can you do a few
things for me?

Firstly, I note that you have a lot of background cygwin processes -
inetd, ssh, cygrunsrv etc. Can you shut them all down?

Now, put setup through a few upgrades/reinstalls and see if it still
crashes.

If it doesn't, then we know where to look for the possible bug.
If it still crashes, or if it's crashing elsewhere than
after-the-download, can you provide a step by step journal of your
choices in setup to help us reproduce the problem ( if we can't
reproduce it, we can't fix it in any reasonable timeframe).


Thanks for the feedback,
Rob
