The same files, on the same machine, which previously failed, now installed fine, albeit very slowly. Thought I would add my 2c worth.

Good thinking, Cliff! I think you may be on to something... ISTM that the problem could manifest itself when running from setup as opposed to from the shell because setup is a Windows program, so some MSVCRT functions may be found before the Cygwin ones... We could test by using "cygstart cygpath" or "run cygpath" or something.
