The solution I found to setup hanging was to use the Windows Task 
Manager to kill the cygpath process (not the setup process) that causes 
the hang. This enables setup to complete the rest of the install. The 
reason nothing quite works for you is that setup runs post-install 
scripts at the end and if you kill setup when it hangs, these scripts 
don't all get run.

I presume that killing this process will still cause something to 
misbehave because some part of the install has failed - but I haven't 
found what that problem might be yet.
