I download Cygwin Setup to C:\cygwin\setup\setup.exe and packages under C:\cygwin\setup. It probably doesn't matter, but I recall that when I tried to share a single Cygwin setup/ download directory across multiple machines via the network, things broke. Are you trying that? If so, don't -- you want a dedicated Cygwin setup/ download directory for each machine. I think Cygwin Setup stores machine-/ installation-specific metadata in there. > 4. Run Cygwin Setup.

I have found that if I select anything in addition to the base/ default packages on the very first run of Cygwin Setup, things break. So, now I do two (or more) runs of Setup -- the first for base/ defaults *only*, and subsequent runs for additional goodies. Please try again with two passes. >> 3.
