I even downloaded the version from cygwin.com as you proposed (I downloaded and tried it before I posted this problem I am experiencing, with the same results). I use a direct connection (no proxy). The last time I succesfully used setup was yesterday. Setup.exe gives the following messages: (null) line 2379: parse error, unexpected '\n', expecting STRING (null) line 2379: unrecognized line 2740 (do you have the latest setup?) Snippet from the setup.ini file: @ texmf-base sdesc: "This is texmf-base-20020530-3, an upgrade helper for tetex-base." ldesc: "This is texmf-base-20020530-3, an upgrade helper for tetex-base. It has a dependency on tetex-base, to ensure a smoothly ugrade to the new tetex packaging scheme. Once tetex-base-20020530-3 or later has been successfully installed, this package may be removed." category: Text requires: tetex-base version: 20020530-3 install: release/texmf/texmf-base/texmf-base-20020530-3.tar.bz2 561 f9dd606c71b433ca9bcf2745b05b9a76 source: [prev] version: 20000804-2 install: release/texmf/texmf-base/texmf-base-20000804-2.tar.bz2 11980396 e33e481294da8ab2dc59c6ca4ac56a9c source: release/texmf/texmf-20000804-2-src.tar.bz2 31896539 4a6f13e4721a6af86f1b93c28a4ee468 The 13th line contains "source: " only.
