When setup hangs there is a log file
C:\cygwin\var\log\setup.log.postinstallXa00716:

      8 [main] bash 2316 sync_with_child: WaitForMultipleObjects timed out
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-bin-icons.sh: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
      6 [main] bash 3728 sync_with_child: WaitForMultipleObjects timed out
