It has 4g RAM.  Checking "Resource Monitor" while the install is running, there is 750MB "available".

I tried searching for "texlive" and setting all of those to "uninstall".  The "postintall" step spends quite a while on "0p_000_autorebase.dash", but I noticed that before.  However, after that finishes, it then sits on "0p_texlive_prep.dash".

While it's sitting here, I dumped out "/var/log/setup.log.full".  Here is the end of the file:

2016/01/21 09:19:20 Ending cygwin install
-----------

Note that the current time is currently 9:37AM.  The log file hasn't updated in almost 20 minutes.

I would run the script manually, but I don't know what to run.

I tried to exclude c:\cygwin from the virus scanner, but it seems doubtful that the installer would go through all the other steps if this was really an issue.
