Yes, thanks, I know it is supposed to be just a warning, but the trouble 
is that it is immediately followed by the error/crash described, and 
contrary to the warning message rebooting doesn't help.

I'm running the installation as myself, rather than administator, but I 
have the same rights as administrator (I'm the only one using this 
machine), and CygwinSetup.exe has already written more then 10 MB into 
C:\cygwin\etc when this happens. I can see 474 objects in 
C:\cygwin\etc\setup

Any more ideas?

Thank you.
