When setup.exe starts up, it has to open the logfile before it asks you
where you want it installed to. If there's already a cygwin installation on
the machine, it'll use that one's /var, but if there isn't because it's the
very first run ever on the machine.... well, you can see the problem. I
reckon you can just delete them and it won't create them again next time you
use setup.
(Disclaimer: I haven't checked the source code to see that this is actually
exactly what happens, but I don't see what else it could do on a
first-ever-run.)
Hmm, maybe it would be better to fall back on %TEMP% instead of the default
cygwin install path, or to do so if the C:\cygwin directory doesn't exist.
cheers,
