But you're right; the postinstall hangs at /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh, .../texmf**.sh, and so on. (I've seen postings about XFree86 scripts hanging, but not about these.) I tried the suggestions for kill -9 and also for using Windows task manager to kill off cygwin.exe, but neither worked. (There *is* no cygwin.exe running when /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh hangs, and killing the various sh.exe's causes setup to complete, create the icons, etc., but of course things are not properly set up.)
