I have cygwin installed on a 64bit windows 7 hp pavilion and its
running just fine.  Ive run the installer several times (to catch
updates, etc) never a problem.

So I don't think thats your problem.


As to your comment about a DVD, not very likely since the setup.exe is
a windows tool and the rest changes fast enough that a printed DVD
would be obsolete before being shipped.


However, you can become a local mirror of cygwin and then tell your
copy of setup to install from a local path rather than an internet
path.

Several people (not me) use this method because they have several
installs of cygwin to update and they are trying to be good
"netizens."
