Subject: Re: [v2.416] Cannot install Cygwin, using setup.exe

At the risk of checking the completely obvious, does your c:\temp\ directory
contain (i) a file called setup.ini and (ii) a subdirectory called release\
containing many non-empty subdirectories?
If so, then are you allowing enough time for stuff to happen? After altering
the preferred selection from "Default" to "Install" (which may itself take a
while) there may be appreciable pauses while apparently nothing us happening
(thinks: hung?) when in fact a lot is going on.
Suggest you have another shot?
Fergus
