Subject: Installing Cygwin on Windows 8.1

I want to install Cygwin on Windows 8.1 64bit but got no success using 
any variant. I tried:

1) I downloaded fresh setup-x86_x64 from cygwin site and then tried to 
install from Internet but got empty mirror list.

2) Then I tried manually add mirror from https://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst 
(this file accessible from my computer) but got "unable to get 
setup.ini" error.

3) then I tried to download WHOLE package manually from one of the 
mirrors (all mirrors normally accessible from my computer via FTP or 
HTTP) to setup from local package. When I downloaded all packages (about 
30 Gigs) I ran setup with local package option. Package folder was 
scanned and I got list of categories. But there was no package in any 
category.

4) also I tried to run setup on my Windows 7 notebook. It got mirror 
list normally. Also I downloaded packages by setup program using my 
notebook, then transfered them to my Win 8.1 desktop, but the story was 
the same: I saw list of categories without packages. But on Win7 
notebook I saw packages in categoies when I tried to install from the 
same directory.

5) Also I tried to turn off or even uninstall my firewall and antivirus 
software, but all results was the same.

6) I tried to run setup with administrator rights or without them, tried 
to use different folders and HDD paths, tried to use x86 setup instead 
of x64 setup.

But nothing helped me.

Any ideas?
