If you didn't tell it to install in some directory other than the default,
then you ended up installing in the root directory for the packages.  In
the past, there have been problems when doing this.  The solution is to
copy the packages to a different directory (not under 'c:/cygwin') or
install Cygwin into some other directory.  Either way, you should remove
your broken install and try again.
