I am using the latest installer (2.850, > 32-bit), and I have tried multiple mirrors. I've done multiple installs (for testing purposes) on just such a box, both 32bit and 64bit and have had no such problems. > Relevant portion of setup.log.full: http://pastebin.ca/2836397 It seems you are trying to install into the root directory of the C: drive. Move it down a directory, maybe into C:\Freeware\Cygwin and install there and I guess it will work.
