I had the same problem using setup.exe from the 24th (I believe) on
Windows 2000 Server (English). The same problem was reported in the
archives a few weeks ago and was solved by running the install from
the directory above latest, and this worked for me.

Anyway, I just want to thank all the Cygwin hackers for such a
wonderful product, anything to keep me away from the clicky clicky
world of micro$soft.

Sincerely,

Adrian Phillips
