Thanks for sending me your setup.log.full. It looks like this is still the same fontconfig problem. The log is full of messages like the following: /usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1: failed to write cache As I said in March, I think you need to start a new thread, probably on the cygwin-xfree list, and make a full report (including cygcheck output) about your problem running fc-cache. Until you solve that problem, every postinstall script that calls fc-cache is going to fail, and setup.exe will keep trying to rerun it at every install. I'm sorry I can't help more, but I'm not a fontconfig expert, and I don't know why fc-cache is failing.
