     I downloaded the package Python 2.5.1-2.  I then started to install that package but was running another instance of cygwin and had to cancel the installation.  I then killed the cygwin window and tried again to reinstall Python.  However I get an error that "setup.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." and I can't install Python.  I've tried rebooting and downloaded the Python package a second time, but it won't let me install Python.  I've tried 5-6 times and it ends badly each time.  Is there any recourse other than removing my ejavascript:SetCmd(cmdSend);ntire Cygwin installation and then trying again?  I really don't want to do that.

Thanks,
Brent
