I have sometimes found that I have to reboot before the full rebase 
works properly.  I'm not sure why.  In your case, however, I agree with 
what Marco said: You probably have too many DLLs installed, and rebasing 
simply won't do the job.

Unlikely.

I think it will be extremely tedious and time-consuming to try to solve 
the problem by selectively uninstalling packages.  You might be better 
off starting with a new installation, and just selecting for install the 
packages you think you need.  For example, you could start by just 
installing autoconf and its dependencies.  The autorebase postinstall 
script should have no problem with that.  Then re-run setup-x86.exe and 
install additional packages/categories that you need (but not everything!).

Good luck.

Ken
