AHA!

After applying the attached patch to setup 2.188, I got a clue that the 
problem was that my 'local' repository was on a remote share 
'//polgara/private/'.  So, I copied the 
//polgara/private/software/windows/cygwin-new tree over to my local disk 
-- and things were kinda okay for a while.

I got to the chooser screen, and it listed the bzip2 package and 
libbz2_0 package:

CURRENT   NEW       PACKAGE
1.0.1-6   1.0.2-1   bzip2: sdesc...
           1.0.2-1   libbz2_0: sdesc...

When I said "install", I briefly got the progress screen -- and then a 
BSOD. memory dump sent separately.  This is on W2K, McAfee *was* turned 
*off*.

Sigh.

So, the problem with "unable to get setup.ini from setup.ini" seems to 
be due to problems handling windows shares in the "local_dir" variable 
within ini.cc.

Now, my problem list is;
   BSOD
   SEGV when clicking 'ADD' new site for internet installations. (null 
pointer)
   local_dir on a windows share
