My appologies.  I had thought that changing the Subject line would start a new thread when I did a reply to the cygwin email 
address.

I do see the /bin and /usr/bin now (/usr/bin didn't show up for some reason previously.  I'll assume I fat fingered the dir 
name.); however the setup installation still fails.  Whether or not I can manually execute a work around wasn't my point.  The 
gnome-icon-theme.sh and hicolor-icon-theme.sh installation scripts don't work as written and this should be corrected.
