How to clean up a setup.exe mess?
I ran Cygwin's setup.exe and it seemed to hang. So I used the Cancel button. Verily, setup.exe did then disappear from my peecee. I restarted setup.exe and I selected the same mirror as before. This time, while uninstalling bash, I got an application error: The instruction at "0x004f42cb" rererenced memory at "0x0019". The memory could not be "read". The above application error is repeatable. My theory is that after the first (cancelled) execution, setup.exe's state files got into an unusual condition that the program's logic could not deal with. So, how can I clear out this state? Output from "cygcheck -s -v -r" attached.

Sounds like the package listing for 'bash' got messed up. You should be able to recover by deleting '/etc/setup/bash.lst.gz'. After that, rerun 'setup.exe'. If you're not using the current 'setup.exe', I'd suggest updating and re-running 'setup.exe' before trying anything else though.
