I have had recently considerable problems both installing and uninstalling 
cygwin.

XP-pro box

Version: 2.510.2.2

1st try - downloaded all updates, and install from local disk
Install stops dead and does not proceed at

/etc/postinstall/01bash.bat

After this, I attempted to uninstall the entire package to reinstall fresh

At this point, uninstall hangs at

Running preremove script...
base-files

I attempted to delete the installed program by hand, but cannot delete bash.exe

Suggestions?
