I don't see why this thread has ballooned into such an ordeal.  Run
setup.exe.  Install the "libpcre0" package, which is a library on which
'less' depends.  That's all that is required, and that's what the output
of the "Package search" page is telling you.  The other posters were
trying to point you in a direction so that you could figure that out for
yourself so you wouldn't have to ask next time.  "Teach a man to fish"
and all that.

As far as setup.exe is concerned, it should have installed this package
for you.  The setup.hint for the 'less' package includes the line:

requires: cygwin termcap libpcre0

Which means that if you select 'less' then setup.exe should also select
'libpcre0' and 'termcap', unless you override it.  Can someone verify
that this works, please?
